Is it possible to click on a virus through a referral? I have been getting referrals clicking to my blog such as digg. com and one time I think I click a virus. It is really frustrating. Who could be getting on my blog since I am not on those sites to get to my blog? Need help figuring this out and thanks!!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you have a referral from digg.com it means someone submitted one of your articles to the digg site. it’s very rare to click on a virus from the referral list.

There is always the chance that you can get a virus from a referral link. Sadly their are those out there that get their jollies from things like that.

Always make sure you have good virus protection and that your virus protection is up to date with the latest virus definitions. This certainly doesn’t mean that you will never get a virus, but it should stop the bulk of them.
