Hey everyone! I was reading some articles on other sites that have been very discouraging.  Apparently people are reporting that downloads from pindiy have given them viruses? I was wondering if anyone here could actually confirm that, or if those reports were just made by people who are mad at pindiy and trying to get people to stop using this site.
I've been using pindiy since around March of this year, and have downloaded dozens of patterns without issue.

I know exactly what your talking about because I have seen the same things being said. I will tell you I've downloaded a lot from this site and I've never had a virus. The only thing that I can think of is that the people's patterns that are on here most don't have permission and some of them get upset that their patterns are being sold here and so maybe they make up things. What they (the owners of the patterns) don't realize is that yes their patterns are on here yet most without their permission BUT it's not like they are being sold to people this site uses their own currency within the website. So that's the only thing thatbi can think of but no I've never gotten a virus at all and I have well over 100 patterns downloaded.

all uploaded files need to be approved by the mods.
We are sure here.

I kindly call @Turquoise into this thread She can explain this way better than I couls.

Those rumours are spread to keep us away from this site.

Away from this I truly hope each i-net user has anti- virus programs installed anyway.

I've seen rumours about viruses in some craft groups on social networks and it's always along the lines - i heard this or heard that about viruses, without any solid proof. I'm using this site for a while now and i do scan files after downloads and never ever anything bad happened. To me this is a fantastic resource especially for discontinued
or out of print patterns.

All new downloads are posted in a sort of "waiting room" where users can't download anything. You can only download them after a moderator moves the thread to the relevant area. The moderators check that the download is actually what it says it is, so to get a virus here, a moderator would need to put it up. Doubtful that that would happen, if you ask me.

Personally, I think the risk of getting a virus is pretty low here. I've rarely seen sites that check their downloads as vigorously as this one.
