Take Caution Searcing For Vector Art

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to alert other users that last night I was searching for a fox head graphic, through a Google search. I clicked on a link and immmediatly it started downloading viruses. It happened so fast that I'm not even sure of the link. I would recomend only using links from this site or from others who know for sure that they are virus free. I hope this helps someone else prevent having to go through the process of getting rid of them.

Jon

ps....Thanks to all for all of the knowledge presenrted here.

I run Norton anti virus. when i search online it has a green check next to the link. that way i know it is good. when i click on the link norton does a quick virus scan. it wont let anything download without checking it and asking me. it is a pain sometimes but well worth it.

what kind of fox head where you loking for? got some tribal ones

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a fox graphic to put on a necklace that my wife is making for a gal who has the last name Fox and loves foxes. I have found some full figures but no heads except the fox racing emblems.

Thanks again,

Jon

AVG does the same thing, puts checks next to the google search results.

I recommend you use NoScript as well.  When you go to a site, it won't be allowed to run scripts unless you explicitly allow it (temporarily or all the time).  Most legit sites will not require running a script to d/l files, and you can then scan them before un-rar'ing/unzipping.
