Question About Arcade Sites

    Hi,

    I'm hoping that someone can provide some insight on this for me.

    Two very special kids in my life love to play flash games on a particular arcade site. The only problem is that just about every time they do, we end up with some kind of virus or something awful on the computer that they use.

    I'm setting up their very own arcade site for them as a Christmas gift, but my question is... is it possible that viruses, etc. can come from the flash games that I load onto the site? I'm going to use the games that come with the script, as well as games from Mochi Media, to stock the site.

    Does anyone have experience with arcade sites? Am I correct in thinking that the viruses we're getting come from the particular arcade site that the kids are using and not from the flash games, or is it possible for viruses to come from the games too?

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you positive that these are virus's and just not tracking cookies? If you want to put games on the site get them from Reputable sites like Mini Clips or addicting games which have Embed capabilities.

    Yes, I'm positive that they are viruses. I'm thinking that it's just this particular site which is pretty nasty. It's unfortunate because the site is popular at the local boys club, so all of the kids in the area visit it. I know a lot of parents that have had similar issues.

    Thanks.
