Because I don't feel comfortable about giving people my e-mail address. Under the field where you type your e-mail address, it clearly says: "Your email will stay hidden."... And besides, I don't think you even have to use a valid e-mail address. |

Yes you do have to use a valid email address. They send you a email and before your signature appears, you have to click on the link in your email they send. |

Err... 99.9% of all websites on the internet won't give you viruses, though quite a few do have advert cookies that download quietly and cause popups from time to time. The only way a website can transmit a virus to your computer is if you choose to download something, or on REALLY dodgy sites (we're talking porno and warez here) sometimes a cookie will download that causes popups that automatically start downloading things to your computer.
All I can suggest is to avoid downloading illegally pirated software and find a reliable porno site ;D
And check your computer from time to time with Lavasoft's AdAware and the Spybot: Search and Destroy adware filters. They're both free and when combined they release a superhero unlike any the world has ever known... CAPTAIN PLANET!! Oh wait.

Sounds like you need to use Hijack This to search your system for programs that are considered legitimate. I have a whole heap of programs used to keep this computer squeaky clean... and so long as I know exactly where I've been then I can clean it up again afterwards.
The war against viruses and adware starts at home!

I use AdAware and love it! Firefox with the ad-on really works wonders for popups. :)
