Miss Mojo Posted May 29, 2001 Share Posted May 29, 2001 thank you for the advice loveshack host just a quick question....was this site to do with a part of the female anatomy??? (i don't want to name it). i noted a guy has come on here a couple of times and posted the name of a link saying it would be helpful, and i looked it up once only to find it was pornographic...not very funny. i'm a little concerned, only because i went to the home page of that site and my computer is *very* temperemental...the virus scan doesn't always work properly. thanks again!

Author Administrators LoveShack.org Posted May 29, 2001 Author Administrators Share Posted May 29, 2001 Your computer should be fine. The virus occurs if you decide to navigate the site. With some 44,000 viruses out there and many more Trojan Horses (password stealing programs), it is highly recommended you get a realiable anti-virus program. Very few posts contain links but clicking on them should be done at your own risk. Link to post Share on other sites
