[QUOTE="Liister87, post: 35413, member: 228"] Via a flash based virus going around that runs through adobe flash player and adobe acrobat reader, also via emails and picture files. "According a security guru at Symantec, both Wii and PS3 are vulnerable to both phishing attacks and malicious viruses. " Heres my write up on the WIIRUSES.. http://wiipros.co.uk/news-wiirus-t-1627.html I think its totally possible for viruses to be recieved off the net, SYMANTEC were using a WII just the other day to show off how many vulnerabilities it COULD potentitally pick up, and apparently there were quite a few, i'll find the interview and post the link in a moment! Heres one: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2194782/symantec-warns-wii-flaw Also heres something related to what i was on about: (http://www.portableplanet.co.uk/2007/08/21/symantec-nintendo-wii-ps3-are-vulnerable/) So wii is almost as vulnerable to a virus (via flash and adobe, even opera) as is a pc...sorry guys but we're going to have to do something in the future, especially if ONLINE play REALLY takes off on the wii. A symantec channel sounds good, shame we will have to pay a ton for it, as its like £80 a year for one on the computer, (a decent symantec one) so...jeez! [/QUOTE]
