If you do a little research you will find numerous forums that discuss the issue of virus infections occurring at deviantart. Even their own forums have quite a few posts on the subject. You don't have to actually click anything or "be stupid" to get an infection (although there are the typical click the link style infections on deviantart, but those are to be expected at most social networking type sites) and it seems to be popular belief the problem lies in the advertising containing malicious codes/spyware.
