Can mediafire get you viruses

Answer 1

Read this utopia.fans/security/is-mediafire-safe-to-use/ if you want to know more about the safety/unsafety of MediaFire. But on the whole, you have to understand that any file-sharing services are at a big risk. As all the files that are uploaded there are stored somewhere and can be hacked.

Answer 2

No, only the things you download from mediafire can have viruses. If you just be careful and look at the file before u download it you'll be fine lol. If you're downloading movies or music, don't download it if its ending is .exe, its most likely a virus.

Answer 3

Well, It really depends. It's a yes and no answer to be honest. Mediafire is a storage site so they do not check to see if any viruses got into any songs, ect. Everytime you download... it's like taking a risk. But if you do download anything, even if its just a tiny 5 second song. After downloading check your files and check if your download is either movie format, i.e. .avi. wmv .flv .mp4 then your o.k unless you get ripped off and rick-rolled. ( Just incase run a scan quick if you feel uncertain.)

Anyting other than those formats. I'd get worried, remove the cursed thing from my files and delete it from recycle bin/trash bin and restart my comp. and run a full scan once it turns on again. So in other words play at your own risk...
