I have an xbox (obviously) however I was curious, Y has noone developed a virus for the xbox yet?
Don't get me wrong that is the last thing I wanna deal with but I figure, I have to protect my computer,bluetooth phone,palm, etc from virii but I they have no virii problems with the xbox.
Y? is it that secure and if so y isnt my computer/palm/phone?
just curious.

I dunno, i guess computers are usually online and easier to target, the XBOX live stuff isn't Windows like we think of Windows, its got different code, its been mutilated with an axe or Bill Gates and a Chainsaw.

~ Hope that answers the question ~

ahh I see. so if it's based off of 2000 code wouldn't it be relatively easy (if you are a virus creator) to modify a virus you've already made to attack 2000 to go after the beloved xbox?
