What are the chances of getting viruses from doing tasks?

May 21, 2012 11:54pm CST
Just wondering if you can get viruses through this site. Nearly every site I have found to try and earn money has ended up having viruses everywhere. As I am new to MyLot I just wanted to know how safe is it to complete tasks and what are the chances of coming across viruses on this site

There is always a risk that, whenever a site allows people to post URLs, someone will post one which is dangerous. MyLot's administration is pretty good but they don't (as far as I know) check every task before it is posted because that would require an enormous amount of time and staff involvement. The same can be said of many (but not all) task sites. It is difficult to assess the risks but it would certainly be dangerous to assume that they are negligible. It is everyone's responsibility to take care of their own safety when using the Internet. It is therefore very important for everyone to have a good, up-to-date anti-malware and firewall system on their computer. Depending on any site to be absolutely secure would be like living in cloud-cuckoo land! You simply cannot expect to live in a "nanny state" where every site is absolutely responsible and accountable for YOUR safety!

As long as you don`t download anything the chances are low.If you have a good antivirus the chances are near zero.
