You can get virus on DevianART. My friend got one from DA like weeks ago and it's the reason why she hasn't come back to DA for weeks. It was her second time getting a virus. I know people can get virus on DA because I seen news( on the DA site) about people getting viruses from the ads they advertise on the site ( even when they didn't click on them) I even got a malware ( that disguise itself as a "Anti-virus" program that kept on asking me to pay stuff and I didn't even downloaded it) from that site which I was lucky to not lose my files. The best advice to avoid getting viruses on DA is to use Firefox or another safe browser ( and download add on like Noscript and adblocker) and DON'T NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. IE is the worse browser you can use for DA.
