Can i Get a virus On my computer by using ps2 online?

I can connect my internet to my ps2 and my computer at the same time. i have The latest Norton Antivirus on my comp (if that makes a difference)
So i was wondering if it is possible to get a virus on my computer by playing ps2 online when the cord is connected to both the ps2 and computer?

Re: Can i Get a virus On my computer by using ps2 online?

Its possible, but I seriously doubt it. The virus would have to have been specificly writen for the PS2 (which would be extremely rare), and then it would also have to have some programing to enable it to jump to and conform to a Windows based computer (which on top of that, is near imposible). Don't worry about it. It's like router viruses- they exist, but there so rare there's no need to be concerned.

this is possible, if you have downloaded any so called software that reckons it can enhance your ps2, the usual nonsense. otherwise the only experience i have known of is that you play online and your firewall sucks or you dont have one and someone in a game room or via host connection/s sniffs you out then can do what they wish n also not having up to date patches on anti vir n OS.
