Well, yes a PS3 Hdd can get a virus, anything storage based can get a virus, a Floppy Disk can get a virus.The PS3 OS Is Unix, much like Linux and OS X, so if the virus infected your Windows PC, theres nothing to worry about at all, anyway, a PS3 would be able to run a virus, since it hasnt been digitally signed by sony.
you know who i would bone? daffy duck
OMG why do people not understand that viruses written for windows, only work on windows. Formatting your hard drive would be the stupidest thing youve ever done. Plus, even if you plugged it into a Windows PC, it wouldnt make your PC get a virus again as Windows PCs cannot read PS3-formatted hard drives.
didnt you have an antivirus installed or use a mac lol
OMG DONT YOU UNDERSTAND HOW VIRUS WORK. you have to consider the future. you may not plug things into your ps3 but I DO. i noe that it wont affect the ps3 for the longest time. i NOE that virus are developed for only certain OS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS i plug in my usb drive, externel HDD, my ipod, and PSP to the ps3 and my laptop. if i were to plug it in, my memory on my PSP, ipod, USB drive, and externel HDD will get INFECTED and if i plug it into my laptop, my laptop will get INFECTED.
i plug things in my PS3 all the time ¬_¬ im just not stupid enough to get a virus in the first place. also, the virus wont be able to run its 'copy to device' code as it cant run on an OS other than Windows. so mehhhhhh
just plugging something into your ps3 wont cause the virus to transfer over it will only transfer over from a ps3 if you were to copy the infected file or folder.
the reason im not giving a solution is cos there is none. because nothing is wrong with your PS3. just give your friend an earful for giving you infected files.
