Bringing my nightly bit of "good" news...

Over in this post in LiveJournal's Vidding community:

PSA: My computer is currently infected with a Trojan virus I'm almost positive I got from downloading a vid from Sendspace. I just thought I would warn others about a possible source of infection.

I've been having trouble with Sendspace causing my CPU to rev up to 100% while the ads on its download page are loading. Several times, it's hung or outright crashed my Firefox, so I'm definitely taking this warning seriously myself!

Since I just went through a Trojan.Vundo infection that caused me to have to reinstall my operating system, believe you me I do NOT want to chance having to go through that headache all over again if I can possibly avoid it!

So for myself, I'm going to avoid going to Sendspace in the near future until I hear that this has been FIXED!

Stay safe out there, people.

well, that's zshare and sendspace that I now won't use :S

thanks for the info Ais!

Mediafire is still the best I've come across so far

I'd def. recommend it and signing up for a free account; it keeps all your files in there for you to organize as you wish

I saw that too, Ais. This totally sucks because zshare isn't very good and whenever I use mediafire I get "bad request" O_O

I knwo I just tried mediafire and it kept saying "Can verify download"

so I had to use sendspace.
