    I heard something about this as well. I will avoid MegaUpload mirrors for some time forward, which is a great shame since they RULE! But I'm sure the problem will be resolved in time. I'd rather not download something in a while than risk my disk being swiped. I have my whole life on there xD

    Em, i think what you mean is some files have virus's as with any file hosting service and some files dont. Megaupload has nothing to do with it, it just hosts the files, the people that upload the files would be the ones responsible. I cant imagine the MU server having a virus which affects all files uploaded to it.
    Ya'll best not be trolling

    Yeh this is complete crap.. Im with Toon.

    Your 2 mates told you.. so its true..

    My 3 mates told me otherwise.. That makes me more correct.

    And simply because of what agent 47 said.. this is not true.

    I agree somewhat with agent 47. Your statements are completely bull . Megaupload is THE BEST. Of all the downloading sites. I will refuse to believe this, again, bull .

    If you type "Megaupload infected" on google, you will have suggestion as megaupload infected mushroom. Infected Mushroom is an israelian music group so you will certaintly found files on them because people share music by megaupload.

    I don't understand the critiscm, if you guys want to use megaupload at a risk, go for it, but I know I won't until this is definetely cleared up.

    I downloaded a couple of the mods on here and it used MegaUpload. While doing a scan on the file my virus program detected and blocked a Trojan. Not sure if that was caused by MegaUpload or not and I'm by no means saying that it is. It's just what I experienced twice while downloading from MegaUpload. I still use MegaUpload, I just scan my files before unzipping them.
