Wii Virus

bump.

how susceptible are we to spam? with most of us displaying our online code, it's rather easy for somebody to collect our wii email addresses and start spamming, no?

Unlike email, friend code systems allow for explicit filtering. With the (lame) Wii code system we have in place right now, you need both sender and receiver to accept each other, so unless you're a retard and keep the spammer in your address book, it shouldn't be an issue.

Do you remember that IPOD/storage virus that was going around, I thought about it corrupting my SD memory on my Wii when I was going online, but then I realised how the browser would say "file format not supported", so in theory it would flash that up randomly if you were on naughty websites.

I’ve purposely surfed website I know to contain viruses, and all that happens is the browser refreshes the page 3 times the second time it tries to reload the page, the third time it goes back to the start page.
