Someone left a comment saying my layout gave them a virus.

Could this be true and how?

And this is what I wrote back just now.
What are you talking about? I test all these layouts first on my own Myspace page on both Firefox and IE to make sure it looks the way it should. All pictures are uploaded through Photobucket. And I wouldn’t even know how to send or place viruses. Look at the code I placed and it’s all basic html code.
Could there be anything in the code causing this?

I don’t see anything in the code, MMSL, and my antivirus and antispyware aren’t seeing anything either, so unless you used an image which had a virus embedded in it I don’t see how your layout could have caused it.
I’d also tend to take any comments where someone makes a claim like that with a grain of salt if they don’t provide a name or contact details with it. Anonymous comments cause more problems than they’re worth, IMO. I’d wait to see if they reply again, but I don’t think there’s much more you can do. Hopefully it’s just somebody looking to cause trouble…

Thank you! But all images are all uploaded through Photobucket. Saying what the person did is the worst thing to accuse a layout/graphic site of. I can’t delete the comment because maybe others have seen it already and might think why did I delete unless I’m guilty.

Thank you! I use the editor at http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/ and they don’t have any messages up. Because when other sites get accused of this they put up warnings. I wonder if someone did this just to piss me off. They sure ruined my day today!
