Question
I was told not to download anything inre utube.  This person told me that I was spreading malware (?) by forwarding cute things I found there.  What is your opinion?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Answer
Hi Gen,
Ive heard rumors in the past of Malware there. But if youve got a good AntiVirus and AntiSpyware and if your Firewall is properly configured, you have nothing to worry about.
They would not be in business if they spreading Malware.

Hope this helps.
