Has anyone ever gotten a virus while opening links here?? I think I just did and can't even remember what link it was...

I got one back in March, but my Norton's Antivirus caught it.

I haven't from here but I'm very cautious about Facebook. I hope it doesn't mess up your computer too much.

You can click on a link yesterday or days ago, and it will stay dormant for a while too. They do not always immediately rear their ugly little heads right away.

Always take care on clicking on any link, no matter where you are :wink: :D:D:D
