I swear, this topic comes up every month or so.

There are no viruses on PPT. There are popups, and yes, sadly, some of them may contain spyware. Spyware is at worst a nuisance, and will not harm your PC in any way. We do our best to curb the advertising, but it is a necessary evil.


From this topic. There's another topic that's almost identical here.


Gone, forever.

Some anti-virus programs report certain types of spywares as trojan horses. Whether or not this is an erroneous identification is ultimately up to you. Regardless, there is very little to actually discuss on this matter: there are not any actual viruses. There is spyware, which is sadly a risk of almost every website that contains ads.

And Alex quoted what I was going to quote; it's not fair, I must say...
