Linkboks Question
« on: June 13, 2004, 09:35:00 AM »
Just had a question about linksboks and whether it is possible to cram up your xbox full of spyware and virus' by browsing the wrong site.  Just curious and if so, can this be very damaging to your xbox console?  Thanks in advance.

My guess would be no for various reasons. Spyware are little mini progs that get installed into your registry in c:\windows and if anything the progs would have .exe files. XBox doesn't have a registry(that I know of), it doesn't have a c:\windows dir and XBox doesn't run .exe's, so base don those conclusions, I believe you are safe.
