| Could you get a Keylogger if you look at a Meso Selling site? o_o I just went to one, but I didn't buy any. I was just curious. I'm just paranoid. |

| No, well it is possible, but highly unlikely. A keylogger is a program, and just like every other program, you must first download it somehow. As long as you didn't do anything stupid to download something they were advertising on that site, I'd say your pretty safe. |

| You can only get it if someone sends it to you or you download something with the keylogger. |

| Cinos11 said: "Depends on which meso selling site you visited." I used to be just as paranoid as you guys about every single fishy site I went to, thinkin I had a keylogger or a virus. Like I said, it's highly unlikely that you can get a keylogger for just visiting a site. A keylogger is a PROGRAM, and like other programs, you have to somehow download them first. |

 | Everyone posting with such authority needs to read up on ActiveX browser helper objects and how they work. Also look up the term "driveby download". Here, I'll link an article on wiki for you: link In particular: "3. Download of spyware, a computer virus or any kind of malware that happens without knowledge of the user. Drive-by downloads may happen by visiting a website, viewing an e-mail message or by clicking on a deceptive popup window: 4. Download of malware through exploitation of a web browser, e-mail client or operating system bug, without any user intervention whatsoever. Websites that exploit the Windows Metafile vulnerability may provide examples of "drive-by downloads" of this sort." And also this cheerful bit of information: "In April 2007 researchers at Google discovered hundreds of thousands of web pages performing drive-by downloads." You all have your anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewalls fully updated, yes..? |

| some places when you click on something you know your not downloading anything. they trick you and it starts downloading automatically even without your permission from your security and firewall programs. if you don't trust it don't go in the site. i only go to recommended sites by friends and ones i know i can trust. peace. gregg |

| The Question is Why were you on the site, to begin with. if you want to be safe just Ccleaner. |
