Virus's on Wii?

Why would you go looking for them in the first place? :|Sonick54

ok thats good

Due to the wii not ruing executable files - it is theoreticly impossible to create a virus for the wii BUT hackers have done impossible things in the past. They may be able to access flash exploits or something like that, so still be carefull what you do on the wii.

it is using your computers router and is using the signal. you are basically on your computer but in a different room. mattbrw08

That's completely wrong

As for the Wii chances are it will never get one because the internet is so neutered as far as it's power as a browser. That's why I hope Nintendo never listens to people who want to be able to download things and make it play different formats.

It's fine how it is and right now that's it's biggest advantage against any sort of virus.

Anything with an open connection has the potential to get a Virus. It just takes an intelegent mind and a overlooked weakness ("hole") in the security that's been put in place. Consider that there are Virii designed for cellphones!

That said, how much damage a virus can do really depends. The Wii's operating system isn't running from the drive, so it would be next to impossible to overwrite. The most it could probably do is create some annoying glitches when you inadvertently activate it, and these would surely go away once you restart (turn off and back on) the system.

Also, in order for a virus to infect a system AT ALL, it must be designed for it. A Windows viruses....the most common type... will only work in Windows, and nothing else. A "Wii virus" would have to be specifically made for the Wii.

And with your Wii, there's crazy viruses everywhere.
