You should always be cautious when clicking on any link, anywhere.
I have had my antivirus program go off when searching the net for quilting info and clicked on a link found during a search. The people who are responsible for these virus's can plant them anywhere, on any site.
Keeping your antivirus program updated is your best strategy to keeping your computer safe. :D:D:D
No, I did not suspect that my viruses originated on THIS site, but based on the warning messages I sometimes get from my Malware program when I am attempting to get onto some quilting links, I am supposing that I have picked the viruses up during my "research". This is not to say that the quilting resources web sites themselves are to blame; as mentioned above, "these viruses can be planted anywhere, on any site". My Malware program (free) has been very good; I update and scan on a weekly basis.
