Misfire. Anti-virus programs do that every once in a while. Don't worry, ROBLOX is perfectly safe. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had BLOXcon. Plus, they wouldn't have a real company.
Or this many users. Heck, they probably wouldn't even have a blog. |

McAfee works just as well as any other anti virus software. Sometimes open forums can be classified as malicious, it has happened to me with ROBLOX before as well.

Norton and MSE are terrible. Norton, I believe, caused two of my friends' computers to crash. MSE sucks.
AVG isn't that bad. |

| I am only using McAfee because it is a trial that came with my laptop. I had a virus and had to reboot it a while ago so I just downloaded a trial. I will be getting another one at Christmas time. |

Some anti-virus programs do this once in a while, they are false don't trust them, they only want you to buy something or update into something better. :/ ROBLOX is perfectly safe from any virus, don't worry. :) |

"seems" that's because you can't tell until there's a major/noticeable virus. you can go a year having 12 trojans and not know it. |

I use MSE and never had an issue. I have never got a virus with it. And I used avast to make sure MSE has worked. |

Having a good antivirus isn't the only step. You have to be a responsible user and know what sites not to use. I have had McAffee for 4 years now with no viruses.

| I agree with Sirdust. Keep to non malicious websites. And you don't really need an antivirus. Keep an antivirus just incase though. |

| @stomache Calling people names don't make you feel secure buddy, and who said I used two at once? Of course I un-installed MSE before I tested with AVAST. Don't assume people are less smart then you. You have no right unless you know the facts. That just made you look like the "Idiot." |
