Am I just lucky? I've downloaded thousands of torrents over the past 10 years at TPB and I've never been infected with anything, not even malware. I'm there almost daily. The only annoying bit is a pop up window usually to a poker site when you first visit. Close it and all good.Toby wrote:be aware of viruses when using piratebay! have an up to date virus scan turned on!
Yes you are just lucky. There a millions of viruses on the torrents, most of the keygens are viruses, probably about 10% of the executables have viruses. Virus checkers will not prevent a custom made trojan from installing a backdoor on your system.flybykite wrote:Am I just lucky?
