Can RuneScape give you a virus?

No, over a million other players have played runescape and no-one has received a virus, the only way yo get one is if you download a bot for it, which is against the runescape rules anyways and you get bots off sites.

The game, which was never publicly released, used isometric graphics. Gower completely rewrote the game in 1999, albeit with no improvements to the graphics. This version was released as a public beta version for approximately one week before it was withdrawn.[6] As a Cambridge University undergraduate, Gower worked on a complete rewrite of the game with the assistance of his brother, Paul Gower.[7] The isometric view was replaced by a mixture of both three-dimensional and two-dimensional sprites. The game, renamed RuneScape, was released to the public as a beta version on 4 January 2001 and was originally operated from their parents' house in Nottingham.[7] In December 2001, the Gower brothers and Constant Tedder formed Jagex to take over the business aspects of running RuneScape.[8] Jagex developed an interpreted domain-specific scripting language called RuneScript which is used by RuneScape's server for event handling.[9] On 27 February 2002, a monthly membership service was introduced, allowing access to additional features including new areas, quests, and items.[8]
