I was reading about Linksboks but if i put it on my xbox cant i get viruses? do i have to install a virus protection software? Also am i able to put a p2p network on my xbox

are you looking to catch a virus or something(the p2p network).....i dont think a virus can be ran on an xbox unless its written with the xdk.....just my thoughts but i could be wrong

who said i was young.....im not positive on that too but it makes sense....it may not be just the virus needs to be written with the xdk....but a normal win32 virus probably wont work on an xbox is wut im thinking

What if you have Xbox Media Center that reads Mpeg-1/2/4, MP3, AAC, JPG, GIF and many more. I am not sure but could a Virus get in through those files.

but due to the fact it would be writtin for windows and XBMC is based on xbox hard ware and there are no viruses made for xbox to this date so its not possible to catch one.. Also if one did get onto the hdd you'd just format the drive using slayers.

it's simple you can have a virus on ur xbox but it can't affect ur xbox it will do nothing at all.

Point is - you can’t catch one "yet".

With any luck you wont ever; you have all seen how slayers can format drives? would not take to much to make a Trojan that does the same thing.

Trojan - virus - all are programs - so the threat is still a real one.

In fact I'm surprised some arse has not already done it.

The potentional to re-write an eeprom or bios or hard drive is there for some one sick enough to put it all together.

Let’s hope no one does eh!

Always put a condom on your Xbox and you won't catch anything.

I suspect if Xodus ever releases the hooks into their Xenium OS to the outside world for integration into homebrew apps, there'll be some serious security holes that virus writers would look to exploit.

Just a thought....

hi,

yes, you still have to probe certain liteons. Or you can buy the mini probe or make your own probe, there are loads of tutorials on how to make them

U also need this to power on the dvd drive. Because if you use the xbox to power on the drive it's logged on the xbox. Which can lead to being banned.

i think thats is complete in working properly but we have to provide also that kind of probe pin,
by the way you have other way or make it posible for just making a simple conection or diagram for that.
