Will this media give me a virus?

fusuf · 2012-02-13 18:56:18

I used to watch movies online. I'd go to a website and it'd give me a few links to watch my movie. I'd click one of the links and it would bring me to page with the movie in a youtube style player. I dont think I ever got a virus from this but I just want to know for sure whether or not it's a safe thing to do. Thanks in…

If its a site for watching pirated movies then yes you run a higher risk of getting a virus/malware. Please no discussion of those sites/linking on here either
