Spyware on a .TK domain?

[tamiyatl01]

Hi,

I have been operating a school club site using the .tk domain for the past few weeks(It wasn't even completed yet). Today, I was told to shut it down because apparently using .tk allows spyware and other malicious code to gain access to schoolboard computers. I find this argument very hard to believe that .tk acting solely as a forwarding service induces spyware to be installed and clog up the boards computers.

Is this possible?. Any opinions would be appreciated as I have a meeting with the principle and need to do some prep work.

Thanks

Yes its true...I've heard of this before.

Hey,

thanks for the quick reply. Does anyone know how this can happen even if the computers are fully patched and up to date?

There isn't anything 100% secure. I used to work for TDSB, so ya nothing is 100% secure.
