My son and my husband would often use the cheat websites to get cheats for their video games. I never thought anything of this. Well, a couple of weeks ago my computer started messing up so I took it to my local computer repair shop. The guy that fixed my computer said that it had a virus & that virus was picked up on the video game cheat website! He told me that those kinds of websites are full of viruses and the anti-virus programs can't keep up with them all because there's so many new ones coming out all the time that get past the anti-virus software! He said the only way to not get a virus from one of those websites is to STAY AWAY FROM THEM! I guess you can get a virus on there just by clicking on a link, you don't have to download anything! Anyways, it cost me $75 to get my computer up and running, (and virus free), again so I thought I would post this to let you guys know so you can avoid this kind of headache!

Yes this happened to my friend about a year ago...his computer got so bad, he had to do a full system restore. I only stay on the big game sites that I know i can trust.
