Youtube Virus?

Has anybody else heard of some sort of Trojan or Worm going around on youtube? I first hear about it from a friend on Friday that found out about it on Facebook. If anybody knows if it's still there or if it ever even existed, please let me know. Thanks. Keep vigilant, my friends.

If you heard anything from Stalker Book I wouldnt trust it even if you know the guy.

Yea it's a virus that loads into your temp folder as the video buffers into your browser.

I don't know where he found it out from, but I know this kid personally. He's in a bunch of my classes.

@LW
So it does exist and youtube is infected?

My computer makes like a really fast ticking noise 24/7. and just other wierd stuff here and there...at first I thought it was my speakers, but now I don't know

Youtube itself is not infected. Just the videos people upload. Because it is a video, you can do a lot more, like redirect people to false links whether it be on the actual video or in the details pain right beside.

IDK I would really need to ask my friend how it works to really tell you...he is moar ninja than I. v.v

Such a thing exists?!

Well, in the mean time, I'm staying as far away from youtube as possible. Viruses can ruin my day.

Well just watch videos from respectable members of the community. But if you see some guy with a wierded out username and such...then be a little cautious. I am sure YouTube cough*google*cough is working on a patch as we speak to protect its users. Which they are going to be ASAP about or else it's there @ss for not sticking to their privacy policy.

Yeah, I'll be glad when they get rid of it. I want to watch online videos, dammit! Haha
