Computer Virus

[Graham]

I downloaded two or three videos taken from youtube on this site yesterday and lost access to my computer. I was totally locked out. Anyone else have this problem. I'm inclined never to download from this site again.

I open videos at this site often with no issues, so far. Might be more cautious in the future.

Did you just watch or did you actually download to save on your computer? Many loopholes and cases where downloading youtube videos is illegal. It can be done but there are a lot of nuances to the rules.

Also if you download it from another site seperate from youtube there are good odds that the files contain a virus

I clicked on the link provided. FYI - I've been doing this for a long time on this site. Guess, one never knows.

Note we at hydroracer have no control of where a link posted by a user takes you or what it downloads to your computer. That said if you are running a good antivirus program seems like it should of caught any malicious intrusion before it happened. You tube links are generally safe unless something is embedded in the file.
