Re: Is BT safe?

as long as you have a decent firewall/anti-virus pregram, your chances of being infected are slim...on top of that, its much harder to embed flac/shn files, or a video file [.ifo, .bup, .vob], with a virus or trojan than it is an executable file [tho not impossible of course]...third, the BT community involved with live show trading is a fairly tight-knit community...if someone "caught" a virus on this site [or any of the other live show BT sites], EVERYONE would know quickly...

i've only been involved in BT trading for about 3 years now, but i have never heard of anyone gettin any sort of virus/trojan/malware from a trading site...not that its not possible, but the likelihood of yer computer crashing because of using BT here at The Den is far less than yer computer crashing trying to update yer Microsoft OS

of course, if she's worried about all the potential "issues" on the web, you ought to just look into a Mac the next time around
