not on Xtube, but I thought my computer was pretty secure (other than I was behind a bit on installing some recent windows updates) and I recently got hit hard by a bad malware/spyware/adware trojan/virus.... I didn't install anything manually, but it must have happened automatically while I was googling around a bunch of sites
it was pretty bad malware, it hijacked all browser requests sending me to porn sites instead, wouldn't allow task manager to run, and kept popping up windows claiming that there was a virus on the computer and that it needed to scan and offering to sell an antivirus (I'm using XP)
I was able to clean it all up using MalwareBytes anti-malware program running in safe mode, a few other anti-spyware programs I tried had difficulties and ended up infected themselves.
