help, im very paranoid about this because i was sent a youtube link which i entered and looked like youtube from this guy who i later learned to be a hacker. I scanned my computer using avg 2010, malabytes, and esoft but they all turned up blank. But i was told from a friend that the virus cant be found using anti virus programs. Is my friend messing with me or is this for real ?

- first of provide the link in a code bucket ...
- I dont know of any XSS etc issues with youtube.com

- if you get sent a link you are ok 99.9% chance if its not an executable ( this could be anything not just EXE ... ( old out of date applications pdf doc wmv etc .. files )
- usre firefox with noscript ON ALL THE TIME ...
- use/surf with windows LUA limited users not admins

Hey it is possible that somebody hacking your personal information by this link. Antivirus products did not able to find these kinds of hacking threats. In this case only the anti spyware software can help you to overcome this problem.
