This seems unreasonable, because I just found a virus on someone profile on Yuwie. Yuwie itself did not realize that the virus is active with each of us only see the layout of other site. This virus is very dangerous, because it entered into your computer secretly and steal all the information on your computer.

That is a pretty common problem on yuwie and will continue to be until the admin decides to do something about it which i doubt he ever will since he really doesnt care much....
I have gotten a virus TWICE from yuwie profiles which is why i stopped accepting most new friend offers....
Unfortunately some peoples profiles are infected and they dont even know it so like you i think it is in someones layouts that they created.
as a matter of fact i logged into yuwie last week and sent out some comments and this week i found 4 viruses on my virus scan...not positive they came from there but I'd bet they did.
Yuwie is pretty much just a grave yard now anyway.....

I understand your feeling when you have virus on your computer, my anti-virus is always updated and I keep watching on any site from now after I see the warning come from my AV. So, your anti-virus is not scanning automatically? Don't let the viruses in on your boot sector or registry Windows they'll keep silence and destroying your data.

This is a bad thing. I ceased to use yuwie long a go but I know from friends this kind of things happen time to time, not necesarely on youwie, but I know frineds who got "infections" from myspace or hi5 and even from twitter (several months a go, there was epidemic, luckyly twitter admins managed to solve it).
I think you should report the problem to admins of that site and give them as much details as you can.
