Re: Woah, cool thing from NASA about that rover thing.
Certainly they can be malicious, depending on the content.  Just not usually harmful, as in virus containing or other evil programming ploys.  |

Re: Woah, cool thing from NASA about that rover thing.
I have seen an increase in spaming and malicious links on many forums that I visit. In fact it has become rather sad.
One one forum we have had postings for things like ESCORTS, Viagra, Porn, etc.
On other forums we have had links to download viruses directly and people have downloaded them not realizing what they had done until it was too late.
Heck even posting direct links to download Mods, and Ship Sets here is a risky afair now. You never know if it is really a ship set or mod your getting or some virus until after you have had a chance to scan it.

Re: Woah, cool thing from NASA about that rover thing.
Well, I don't know if it has a virus, but it's not worth looking at anyway.

What? That link has nothing to do with Mars or NASA or extraterrestrials. And no, it's not worth looking at.

Anger won't solve anything. Let's not start newbie-roasting now, ok?

Re: Woah, cool thing from NASA about that rover thing.
While I can't support Se5a's choice of words, I totally agree with his sentiment.
