Thats what I thought when I clicked, but now I'm all scared just cause the guy has only 1 post and someone before me posted it was spyware

I already posted the facts in that topic, about the guy that posted before you. I clicked the images, there's nothing malicious. Isidro is a Farking retard, end of story.

There is a way to inject files into an image file. So having a spyware in a pic is possible. And no, i wont click that image if u say that.
I know a method to inject file like that

I lulled.
It's probably just tracking cookies. Antivirus is a waste of resources.

Yeah I usually have tracking cookies, but I find them and eliminate them. I don't really use the Internet much other than youtube (sometimes), here, and SRO though, so when something like this happens I get pretty excited / scared because I visit these links so rarely.
Thanks for replies everyone. I don't
think there's spyware there, but I did find a tracking cookie on my machine after going there. But who knows.
