No.
It is impossible to get a virus from a message-board site because it doesn't ask you to install anything. I have never, ever, ever, gotten a virus from proboards, ezboard, or even xsorbit boards. A big thing for viruses is aim, do you have that, or other messanger programs, or kazaa or limewire? I don't think those last two are harmful, but anything you install might possibly give you bugs. Messageboards won't.
You might also be getting viruses simply from having connection to the internet, because of the wonderful world of hackers. Do you have a firewall? If not, and even if you do, leave the internet connection *off* when you're not actually using it. If you have one of those always-connected things like cable, whichi s what we have, then turn your computer off when you're not using it, especially at night. It cuts down on the amount of 'net time the hacker has to find and get into your computer.

oh, btw, this is free and would probably help with the bugs: www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/it's the little d/l icon it's not spyware or anything, it's actually very useful, and it's got a good rep. It gets rid of spyware actually. Spyware makes your computer really slow. Also, go CTRL+ALT+DELETE and check out what processes are running on your computer, anything that looks weird, try ending the process. |

It's true. You can't get viruses from message boards, but you can get them just for being online. Unfortuantely that's the way the internet goes. The best option is to get a firewall and an anti-virus program. You can get them at a store or online.
