I too have received spyware from miniclip when I tried to play hamsterball. The spyware was called "Miniclip Game Loader" and is a Trojan.
Yes, miniclip.com does give you spyware and viruses. I have proof. I have scanned it and found viruses and spyware. Trojan Downloads are included in many games. Do not buy anything from the store because it will give you a Trojan Downloader. A Trojan Downloader is a program that lets miniclip (or any other owner) do anything they want with your computer. Games, especially ones that use the "Miniclip Game Loader" activex (Best Friends, Platypus) give you Trojan Downloaders.
Yes it does. "Miniclip Game Loader" is a common Trojan from it. I have had it twice, once from platypus and once from hamsterball.
No...Hello. No, miniclip does not have spyware - I have scanned it many times with various anti spyware/adware tools.No, it does not give you any spyware or malware. Your anti virus/spyware/malware detection program just thinks that it is because it allows the game to do more than what most games can normally do. Therefore, it thinks that it's a virus or whatever but it is not.

∙ 16y agoFrom personal experience, yes, but it may differ from PC to PC, depending on the protection your PC has. However, most computers will pick up more and more viruses/spyware the longer you play and that will cause your computer to slow down. It's often safer to play on sites that not so many people know about or use and do regular virus scans. Please let me know if I'm wrong!
