Can your Wii get viruses when browsing?

[Steel-Froggy]

Or it could be a Wii Trojan and cause it to uhm...
Format the wii? (Then it would just return to normal... 'cept w/o your Game Saves...)

Ya, I guess the worst that can happen is you lose your saved data.

Woo...Now I want to buy a Wii memory card just to back up my games. The thought of me losing my Twilight Princess data is scary...And my mom would murder me!

A virus and if it's a wii-specific virus, could do anything to your wii (depends on the skill of the virus creator), it could damage the wii operating system, rendering it unusable.
And think, if someone created a wii virus where you caught it on your computer, it could infect your SD card (providing you have one) and then extract/run itself through the wii photo channel.
I don't think anyone will be able to do that yet though.
Your safe for now.

the only way u can get a virus is if u go on a dogy site from the internet channel.

Im not saying that, it is safe. But there is 0000000.1% chance there might be a small infection/virus created

Well, in theory, it computes, so it is a computer, but not a PC.
Also by saying keylogger, you are meaning spyware, adware, keylogger, malicious software. NOT a virus.


It could erase save data. Flash/format system storage space rendering any part or all of the OS useless. HELL it could even screw up the thermostat causing the fan to not run and overheat the system.

Anything is possible, just unlikely.
