I need to prove a point. Are these videos virus free?

Yes. Believe me if there was a virus in one our WHOLE staff would know it and we'd all be out of commission.

That, and AVI and MP4 files aren't executables. In order for them to cause something malicious, they would need to take advantage of an unpatched exploit in another piece of software (like the player or codec). Even if such a thing were to somehow work its way into a TV-N release, you would still need to be using the specific software it exploits in order to get bitten.

Tokusatsu itself is a virus... it corrupts your mind and makes you crave childish toys.

There is no cure for one infected with this virulent disease.

I can certainly agree with the mind corruption bit. (The toys not so much to me, but they seem pretty cool all the same. :) )

Anyhow, like Kouga said, there aren't any viruses in the videos.

If you don't have virus protection software, don't bother downloading anything, all you'll do is get yourself infected and become part of some botnet

Is there a point to this thread? Just virus scan files you download, this is something everyone should be doing
