A virus :O ?

**twelve** · 08-11-2007, 10:20 AM

And this is why you should be sensible of accepting people you don't actually know.

**Ciaran_** · 08-11-2007, 10:45 AM

Can't see this being true, XBL is far too closed for a virus to be distributed through it.

**Synyster gates** · 08-11-2007, 10:57 AM

Ha

Ha!

**Skyline34** · 08-11-2007, 11:39 AM

huh? What's next, a Virus on PSN?

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 08-11-2007, 12:10 PM

Yes.

**Vee** · 08-11-2007, 12:43 PM

How the hell could someone send you a virus? When you accept a request, does it automatically send files?

On PSN, you have to send the file through a message or invite, then the other person has to accept the file.

**Shatterdome** · 08-11-2007, 01:27 PM

It's basically impossible...unless some crazy character combination in a msg can manage to crash the 360.

impossible because a friend request is just a friend request. You can't send your own files. The only file you can send is a picture taken from your vision camera. Also all msgs go through MS servers.

Also, even if you are an idiot and accept an email or click on a link (I know a recent one was "Hey look at your naked pictures a youremailaddress.com" and it was of course a command file with a virus in it.....but you could still download the file, as long as you didn't run it you were fine.

That's how virii work, I used to have a collection of over 10,000 virii on my PC, in their .exe/.com form....totally harmless unless you actually run them.

My point, there is no way to run code on the 360....

**ct-boy** · 08-14-2007, 04:50 AM

well guess what it just attacked my cousins xbox 360 he told me that it made his xbox crash as soon as he read the message and the message said "virus virus virus!"

**Abe_Froeman** · 08-14-2007, 06:16 AM

I don't believe it and I think you might be the butt of a joke.

**Kold Kalamity** · 08-14-2007, 06:47 AM

Meh . . . I won't say it's absolutely impossible. But Microsoft couldn't have overlooked this. I don't really believe it.

**Abe_Froeman** · 08-14-2007, 06:48 AM

Not to mention the fact that you only have stories about it happening to people you know. It makes no sense at all.

**Moose** · 08-14-2007, 07:01 AM

Give us a picture, or a video, and I'll be happy. Until then, nu uh.

**Glynnder** · 08-14-2007, 08:45 AM

or get someone with a xbox and a modchip to test it out

**iball®** · 08-14-2007, 09:39 AM

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
