Hey all,
Just wanted to give a warning to be careful when uploading your video previews, clips and such to file-sharing sites like Megavideo, Twitvid, and the like. I've been noticing lately that they have been popping up random ads and such with downloads. In particular, Twitvid lately has been popping up executable files to download in order to just use it and I am fairly certain a MegaVideo clip led to a string of pop-ups that ultimately led me to spending a full day trying to get rid of a Trojan worm that was redirecting all of my browsers.
We have such a great site here, so I'm always on the mindet of just trying to make your clip sizes smaller so they can fit on here (your video is available in HD, we got it 😉, but if you do have to use elsewhere, just be cautious. So far I haven't had any issues with depositfiles.com cause they opt for on-page ads vs pop-ups, and there may be others. I'm just saying that I think we all enjoy clips and such here, but it's definitely not worth getting viruses over.
