I was interested in playing Angels Online,and I’ve never played
online games before.I quit going on myspace because my desktop crashed after getting a virus from myspace.I got a new
laptop,and I don’t want something like that happening to my new laptop.Does anyone know if you can get a virus on your computer if you play these free online games?
thanks for reading my post,and thank you in advance for any and all replies.

    Angels Online looks like a legit game, and I don’t think you would get a virus from it.

    if the link isn’t a reputable site you can get virus. i would not click a myspace link, many of them are bad. there’s plenty of good sites though like yahoo games and pogo.com

    I don’t think you can get a serious comp virus through myspace… a virus through myspace might mess up your myspace account but not your computer…

    you mostly get viruses from looking at porn sites… so stop looking at porn! or go to trusted sites…

    doubtful to get a virus through an application like an online game!

    Yes. Anyone is susceptible to viruses once they are online. Beware of commercial anti-virus programs. NEVER answer emails that offer free anti-virus software - they often contain malware, viruses and trojan horses.

    Some websites do have viruses in them, but you might not be knowing which website has and which doesn’t. Most probably, many won’t be knowing about that. But I’ve heard that many sites are certified and trusted to enter.
