If you pay for minecraft on minecraft's official website, then it won't download any viruses. Servers are also safe to go on, but mods for minecraft can prove difficult. Even though forge should be safe, you can't guarantee that you won't get a virus, even on a mac. The worst offenders are the mods themselves though. You just have to find out from someone else if that particular mod is safe, and if you don't have 100% confidence, then don't do it. Of course, if you really want to you can, but you always run the risk of a virus. AVG 2015 free is a good way of checking for viruses, and if you have any, burn all your important files on a backup disk, upload them to a cloud, and try to reset your computer, or just pay for an antivirus.

∙ 12y agoThere are no viruses in original Minecraft files nor is network protocol used by it susceptible to viruses.
You could probably get viruses if you downloaded pirate version or installed some shady mod. Otherwise no.

∙ 11y agoThe official Minecraft from the official Minecraft website is completely safe.
Any pirated versions are usually fake and/or do contain malicious materials such as viruses, malware and keyloggers.
Always buy the official versions. Never illegal pirated versions, for the sake of your computers health.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoDefinitely not, as said in a previous answer. Minecraft is 100% safe, feel free to run a scan! However, the free versions of Minecraft may contain a virus - so watch out!
No, I play it personally as well as over 9 million other people who have bought it. There is no possible way to get a virus through Minecraft.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoIf you download it from anywhere but the minecraft website, it may be one. However, minecraft itself is not a virus; it's a game.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoI never got any viruses what so ever when i play minecraft. So probably not. All you get is lag if you have a sucky computer.
