Is SlashMySearch safe or does it actually infect your computer with spyware/trojans/keyloggers etc? Also does it run iframes and stuff like that? I'm curious as they seem to promise a very high rate for searches.

It seems safe. The earning are lower and this make me think they decided to pay the users. Now 'm at 5$. I'll post a payment proof when i'll be payed. If they don't pay i will write about

I have antiviruses programs and a firewall They never segnalated slashmysearch. You have to consider that is a website. It's difficult for a website to damage your pc thanks for best response :D

A website could download trojans etc and also run scripts that could damage or freeze your computer. The fact that your firewall and antivirus seem OK with SMS probably means that the site is safe. I'll try it out sometime.

I have joined slashmysearch a long ago and at that time it was often slow so I stopped using it. I really have no idea if they actually can infect your computer with viruses. Wow that's scary. I try to run my anti-virus and anti-spyware software regularly.

Did your anti-virus pick up anything?
