You got about as much of a chance of getting a virus on an xbox as you would in a linux or apple machine.

The easiest way to get infected by a virus is from online gaming... so be careful... If you don't go online gaming, there is very little chance of getting infected. Also, do not download any software from any internet site. This will prevent you from getting infected as well..

Crystal Limited Edition (v1.6)
Maxtor 250G HD
EvoX m8_16 Xecuter 3
EvoX 3935
XBMC 1.1.0

dont listen to sjchu. He is full of poo. You can play online and not get a virus. Also I would say 99% of the time you download software for your xbox off a site it is just fine. The other 1% of the time it may cause some unwanted thing to happen to your xbox, but the developers who made that program certainly did not intend for it to mess anything up. But to answer your question simply: no you will not get a virus on your xbox. If you do, then tell me and I will pay you (in cash) for a brand new xbox...how is that for a garuntee?!

Sounds good to me :)

BTW, just to let you know, a trojan got caught in my xbox. It makes evox twirl around. Can you send me $150 to buy a new one? We can do this via paypal.
