Just curious, is the machine protected against virus attacks... no one seems to worry about this, or have i been living under the 'tempurung'?

lol been wondering about that one too man but i dont think viruses been flying around XBL. iam not sure.

so far only developers get to upload things into xbox live marketplace. dont think so any normal person can upload their own things there... well just my 2cents lah

maybe the programming language is different. so, MS do not worry about the virus because virus is specific. for example, windows virus will not affect mac os pc because the virus is unreadable. well....that's my point of view.

unless i stick my finger up your xbox360. kekekeke

All content that needs to go up on marketplace needs to be signed so no malicious content can get in there.

For XNA games, they run in a sandbox so it can't damage the system. But the risk is higher there lar.

kaka. I don't think virus will spread across XBL. If so, MS sure will give soltion on this. No worry~~!!! Just have fun with our 360

I read somewhere that you can use the box to browse files on your cd (wallpaper thread), will this expose the box to computer viruses? SOrry tech junkies... me computer noob!

as i said earlier, as long as the x360 cannot understand what the heck of "the virus is trying to say", the x360 cannot be infected. during my university life, we learn how to create a virus. the most important thing is the programming language used by the virus must be understandable by the targeted hardware. and i re quote the example that i said earlier, a windows virus cannot affect a Mac machine.

so, i think....just enjoy your games to the fullest

haha... he is jus too worry man... don shoot him...

just sharing info. hehehe
