I don't really think that's possible for a site to do, unless u actually downloaded something

I've been going there forever I haven't been affected

well...for me...I had norton for like 2 years...and then I got mcafee and it picked up about 60 items, trojans keyloggers...everything that norton didnt pick up...

and the worst thing about norton is....if it ever did find a trojan...it would keep popping up one after another that it found a trojan....

OK YOU CENSORED FOUND A TROJAN!!!! NOW TELL ME WHAT THE CENSORED YOU ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!!! AND STOP BLINKING LIKE A JACK RUSSEL CENSORED TERRIER!!!!!! :D :nana:

I got Downloader.Istbar and I have no clue what the hell warez is. I went to PPT and it said this crap about my IP getting out and all this jcked up stuff happened. That's when I found 7 trojans on my computer. Coincidence(sp?)? Maybe, maybe not..

Norton is a bloated, memory intensive piece of junk that doesn't pick up half as many virii as it should & is extremely overrated. Mcaffee is a bit better, it's less bloated but still misses quite a few items; If you want the best protection get Kaspersky. To stay somewhat on topic, I don't think istbar is li'mited to warez sites.

Hmm. I spent ages trying to translate what grahma9228 said. :D Norton annoys me. I got some really bad trojans and it didn't pick them up. *has scrapped them now* Then we asked norton about it and they haven't replied...ehehe...maybe they know their scanny thing fails.

EDIT : Eh, I can't talk, my grammar and describing skills are s***.

uh...I think you might get ripped off there...norton and mcafee and kapersky antivirus are the top of the line....and are really all that you need...and they dont cost 750 pounds :( by the way....there is no antivirus that can catch EVERY virus...people are always writing new ones.

Kaspersky has a feature that identifies methods commonly used in virii, so it can even catch new ones without any updates. It's $50 USD, same price as norton & mcafee but a much better product for your money.
