Just wondering if by playing SL and excepting stuff into your inventory from ppl you don't really know, can you get viruses on your computer? Just wondering, as I play TSO and it was working fine, then I d/l'd SL opened a few things from my inventory (now I have freckles and look studip and can't change back, but that's another thread lol), I tried to go back and play TSO and can't get it to load...did a scan on my comp and had 3 viruses. I don't know, it may be just a coincendence.....
