Do u find u get many viruses from clicking on different tasks on this site.  I ask because I clicked on the download toolbar button and then this window popped up on the bottom right hand corner of my screen saying Trojan virus just quarantined. So I then decided not to download the toolbar.  What's your opinion?

I've never gotten a virus from this site. My virus protection has warned about some of the advertisers from the email and ptc but haven't been infected with anything

I havent gotten any viruses from doing tasks on this website.  If you use a decent antivirus (any of the big name ones) you should be protected from almost anything.  If you are still concerned, then I would not do any tasks/surveys/panels that require you to install a piece of software.  I know this will limit you on some things, but you will be safe from most viruses.

I've never gotten a virus using Fusion Cash.  My suggestion is that there's already something on your computer - run your virus scan and use another product, like Malwarebytes, to check for malware.

I don't take any chances, I keep my anti virus program running constantly, so no, I personally don't have any problems here on FC.  :thumbsup:

I use Linux instead of Windows, so virus and spyware are not a problem.

I had to quit doing the radioloyalty because it kept putting bugs on to my computer.  I only had problems when I was running the radioloyalty.  I haven't had any more of those problems since I quit.
Have a wonderful day!

I have never gotten a virus from anything on of the tasks I have done.  I have heard of people getting pop-ups from the videos that require you to install something.  I just have a simple rule not to install things from anywhere till after I have researched the program.
