Well my anti-Virus program went nuts on me today detecting another virus on my computer.  And once again, the source of the infection may have been deviantART.  As at the time, it was the only thing up on my computer at the time, and I have contracted two other viruses thought the ad banners that appear on the page.  Yes, I use a free account and do not pay for it.  There are a few services that I do pay for, such as flickr, but I don't use deviantart enough, other than look at other peoples artwork, to justify paying for a subscription, membership, or what ever term you wish to use.  And it seems silly that I should have to pay a company, so that I don't see ad banners, so that I won't get a virus, because they don't bother checking who is paying for the ad space on their site.

After this last incident, I am think of either closing my account, or simply just stop coming to DA, just to keep my computer and information safe.

Well, as controversial as it is at times, there's always adblock if you're that concerned.
