Quote - Rendo is wrong, flat out, not to warn us
It's not as simple as that.
On the one hand common courtesy, and effective customer service, would suggest that they should post some kind of warning.
On the other hand, I have never come across a site that has done that. The attitude on the internet seems to be that users should protect themselves properly. My question would be whether anyone with appropriate secuity in place (which variesdepending upon the browser you use) has experienced any problems.
I have IE with all Active X components disabled and Firefox with NoScript and AdBlock plus; plus AVG running all of the time. I have never yet experienced any virus/trojan horse problems in Rosity.
As I recall, one of the early posters who was a victim to the trojan had turned off her AV software to dedicate more resources to a CPU intensive render. That should be a salutary lesson to us all!
