No, neopets won't put any viruses on your computer. However, you could be tricked into going to a site much like neopets that WILL give you viruses. If it doesn't say www.neopets.com, don't go to it.

It is against neopets.com rules to give away an account or use someone else's account. You cannot buy accounts or pets. This is reportable and can get you frozen. Please delete this question.

The answer depends on a lot of different factors.  It is possible in some cases with some e-mail programs (like Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.) to get a virus simply by opening an e-mail message.  Yet, this is extremely rare, and many software companies have now updated their software to keep this from happening.  Basically, I wouldn't worry about getting a virus by simply opening an e-mail.\n\nProbably 95% of e-mail virus infections are caused by OPENING AN ATTACHMENT.  This is the easiest way for a virus to infect your computer.  Simply getting the attachment in an e-mail message will not infect your computer.  When you OPEN an attachment is when it infects your computer.  If you don't know what a specific attachment is or if it is from someone you do not know, I suggest that you do not open it.\n\nA simple way of better protecting yourself is to use a good web-based e-mail, like Yahoo!  Yahoo automatically scans all e-mail and attachments for viruses BEFORE they get to you!  Although, scanning an e-mail with an anti-virus program will not always catch all viruses, it is still 99% effective.

Back in the day it was always rumored that McAfee did this and it's persisted as an unban legend since then. 90% of all bugs you see today are not true viruses but rather worms based on known exploits and in my opinion if the Antivirus companies were actually writting viruses then the virus code would be much better.

Some sites just  looking have embedded trojans in them.  If you have good antivirus program, the embedded trojans or virus would be detected and destroyed in real time.  If you don't, I suggest that you run the antivirus program you have with a full scan and see if you come up clean.  \n\nGood luck, hope you come up clean.\n\nMinddoctor, France

YES IT DOES. It doesnt filter anything. If you must continue your illegal activity, use something like Shareaza. No viruses there. Get it at shareaza.com.

Starware isn't with Yahoo.\n\nNo its not a virus, but it comes equipped with the usual unappreciated Spyware/Adware.

That's pretty dirty to spew lies about a competing website giving you a virus...you will never succeed if you continue to use those tactics.\n\nIf that's not the case...\n\nIf you had a tech come to your home, why didn't he answer this for you? Call him, you must have paid him plenty eh?\n\npissant\n\n=================

I don't use yahoo mail so I don't know about that.  But images(gif,jpg,bmp,tif,etc) can't contain viruses.

Illegal sites, yes and that doesn't guarantee you won't get viruses. Anything you download or receive as attachments in email can contain all kinds of things that can harm your computer.
