JadeFalcon Posted 19 February 2007 Posted 19 February 2007 well i'm sure it is possible in one form or another just that nobodies managed it yet everything is possible it just depends on how hell bent a hacker can become

This makes no sense at all. Unless someone gains access to the youtube server itself and creates a mechanism whereby viruses are downloaded onto the computer rather than video being streamed, you can't get viruses on it. That is amazinly unlikely in itself for a whole host of reasons. It can't happen, and if it did it'd be worldwide news and everyone'd know not to touch the site with a 6 foot bargepole.
JadeFalcon Posted 20 February 2007 Posted 20 February 2007 yeah basically it wont happen but it IS possible
hairy Posted 20 February 2007 Posted 20 February 2007 Spyware is more likely. But again access to the server would be needed.
