    Is their a way to tell if a website is infected with malware, spyware etc.
    I have been to some websites before and my computer has been infected with terrible malware and spyware. Their have been a lot of viruses in my computer, let's just say. So is there a way to tell if a website has malicious viruses or not? Like a program or just a way. Thanks.

    :rolleyes:

    Yes. If you're on a PC just use FireFox as your browser. I have nothing against Microsoft's IE, but Firefox uses Google's database of infectious websites and will show you a warning if you're about to view any website that Google has found to be serving infectious code. Keep in mind that sometimes after the website owner has had the site cleaned that it will still be blocked until they request a review from Google.

    So, use Firefox and I like AVG's anti-virus. Get the paid version and it will include a nice online scanner as well. With both of those you should be fairly safe.
