Can you get viruses by simply downloading pictures off google images?
yesterday, i got a virus... i didnt go on any bad website... all i went on is youtube, twitter, yahoo answers, and maybe facebook. But I did save a picture onto my desktop from google images and i got a virus. Thankfully, I removed it! But could downloading pictures on your computer off the google images get you viruses on your computer?
thanks you guys, i'll be sure to check where i go. Ads |

Yes they can. Use Mozilla Firefox and get the Web of Trust plugin. It helps by telling you which sites are not good before you go to them (this includes google images).
