Are you sure you are using the official download link? What version of gom player is it? Ive had mine on this pc for 8 months and have had zero issues | ||

To recieve viruses from jpegs it doesnt even matter which browser you use depending on the exploit. About 2 years ago there was a wave of infjected jpegs on deviantart. So stop saying things like "lolol derpderp dont surf for porn". Anti-Virus software can only detect KNOWN pattern used for viruses they CAN'T detect patterns they DON'T know.

You didn't get the virus from gom player you got it from a bad porn site. You sir, don't have any clue about viruses nor do you seem to have elaborate wisdom about computers in general. Such immature and uneducated comments like yours should be ban-worthy. | ||

Umm ok who cares if he didn't get it from a porn site? The point is he absolutely didn't get it from gom player. | ||

Because you dont have to call people stupid because they arent good at specific things. Even if he would be stupid, theres no need to tell him that - especially in the way he did. I would warn the OP as well though to think about what he posts some wrong things like that - or at least formulate it in a different way. | ||

Pretty much all the relevant info is in this post. | ||
