Anti-virus Channel?

[hockeyhero]

As I was readding the wiirus thread and read what mario wrote that they should bring anti-virus to the wii. Well i thought maybe nintendo could make it as a channel or a upgrade. I geuss it would be free or maybe just 500 points.

So whaat do you think?

 

[BeatMario]

...A channel?
You mean like, a virus-scanner channel?

 

[Squiddy]

No.

The Wii can't receive viruses from the Internet as you can't download anything off the net.
Also, if your Wii DID end up with a virus, it doesn't come under Nintendo's warranty.

 

[Ralucard]

hmm..kinda unnecessary since kinda 90% of all the viruses are written for Windows =P

 

[Ryano]

No there would be no point...and I definetly wouldn't pay for it.

 

[Sousanator]

I would be happy if the wii could get a virus, since that means theres could be a exploit we can use to run homebrew, without a modchip.
Not all virus's are totally bad.

90% of viruses are from Microsoft
7% are from Firefox
and 3% are others
the chances of your wii having a virus is 3% because it runs from Opera Browser which may i say isn't really "Major" in the internet provider business..
So my answer? No

 

[Ryano]

Well it's nice to hear the chances of virus's are very slim because I really don't want mine to get one.

 

[jaccee]

hahahahha, no i dont think so, have its ever made a virus for a console?
