Is there a standard legal script to discourage members adding spyware/viruses

    Hi,

    My Nepalsworld.com SNS has had a bad virus implanted by someone signing up as a member. It has caused havoc with my Web Designers computer amongst others.

    I am going to advice all members that they must sign up ( somewhere on the site ) using an e-mail address that is not free i.e. yahoo, hotmail etc. In addition I want to advise all signups that any member/ISP who implants any
    spyware etc will be sued.

    Thanks.

    How could signing up as a member same as any other website just standard username password email and captcha get a virus downloaded?? And making nonfree email members is the worst way to turn off members.

    Sure add the legal thing but im sure you cant stop them. My advice is the get some sorta internet virus scanner and use that.

    And again paid emial=bad

    and just add a small note
    asking people to stop virus is just letting people know that they can put a virus on the site.

    He is probably speaking about a member uploading an infected file. If thats the case, your webhost should already have an anti-virus at place.
