There is no browser for the Xbox at this time. Will they release one? Only time will tell.

and if they can, i dont know about it, and i've had broadband for over 4 years.

and only once have i ever gotten a serious virus infection (and it wasnt me either, it was my sister) and it was gone in less than an hour witht he virus programs of today.

all you put at any sort of risk is your data.

and, microsoft has stated that the xbox will remain as un-pc as possible, no keyboards, no mice, no internet explorer.</strong><hr></blockquote>

1)OH YES THEY CAN A talented Hacker can Crash a system if they have the right tools. For example some time tech Support will take over your PC remotely. A talented Hacker could do the same thing

2)Microsoft may have said they want to keep it as un PC as possible but I hear a Mouse an Keyboard are on the way. A company can change there mind very quickly. An XBOX browser could be seen in the near future probably limited to sites that let you Download Content for Live games though.

EXACTLY

crashing your system is one thing. but you cant physically blow up a pc, afaik, through software.

and why would you have to be afraid of a super leet hardcore hacker anyway. why would they go after a worthless (to them) home user when they can hax websites, bank accounts, and corporations.

plus i'd be more worried of my xbox getting fucked, i mean its not like you can just format and start over like a pc..but thats not gonna happen either...soo

Yes, it is surprising.

But when I saw the ads about small penises that need to be enlarged you'll be happy to hear that I did think of you.

And I don't need a pop-up blocker, I never get those pop-ups as long as I have the firewall on.

I think I still have a screen shot I took of the results of that unprovoked attack.

PS: I will get you.
