Can you get a virus/spyware or anything dodgy like a keylogger from just opening a private message?

Aslong as youre protected with firewall/av/anti-spyware, you should be safe enough

Now this has been moved from spam i will give a proper reply lol. You cant get a virus from simply visting a web page, especialy from viewing a PM on vBulletin it only lets you use certin HTML when posting a reply/pm like change the font size and colour. There is no way someone could embed a virus or keylogger like that :P
