You know, Media Fire has been around for a very long time...
I've scanned my computer just the other day with 9 different scanners, having visited the web site countless times, and I have had 0 detections in any category in the last 5 months... If this website was hacking people like you claim, and there was proof, they wouldn't be around long...
Don't put words in my mouth. Scroll up and see that what I said wasÂ
"ALERT!
The site 'mediafire' uses methods similar to malware in the web code, be certain you have adequate protection when visiting mediafire sites."
I will repeat the salient point "uses methods similar to malware". Read it, digest it and learn.

Scanners Used:
Microsoft's OneCareLive Online Saftey Scanner
ESET - Online Antivirus Scanner
Avira - Free Antivirus - Including the Anti-Root-kit
Root Kit Buster
Malwarebytes
HiJackThis - The Ultimate Tech Tool (Rarely anything escapes this program)
Super Anti-Spyware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Spy DLLÂ Remover
These programs are without a doubt the best at what they do...
This is your OPINION. And I have my doubts about a great many things you assert as true. FYI, it was NORTONs that gave the error message in another thread on this forum that alerted us to this issue.
Trust what you choose to trust, facts are facts, NORTONÂ reported the site as a possible malware.

Now, having fixed well over 20,000 computer in my career as a PC Technician, I'd have to say that the above "Scare Alert" is false... Furthermore quite a few Professional Software Companies host their files for download on Media Fire, some of which are security firms or anti-spyware / anti-malware & anti-virus companies.. If anyone would know better it would be the pros that work for those companies... Mediafire is used by many companies & people because it's not an open public search-able website, therefore unless you have a direct link to the files you won't find anything on media fire..
Be well Surf On..

P.S. Don't let loud chickens scare you....
And more to the point, don't let boisterous self proclaimed ITs tell you they know best. Guile/Genesis has many other posts around which you may read and use to assess his skills. IÂ have and I have a low opinion of them. Do not assume that 'the masses know best', often they do not. Count the flies on excrement and ask yourself, "Does this taste good? Could so many be wrong?"
Chickens? un-Guile, why do you call names? Have you no points to make perhaps?
Better follow convention and use nwvault like the rest of us (a site we know and trust) as has been discussed before in other threads where you posted to mediafire. Or did you have a hissy and pull all your work off of nwvault again?
By your posts, you were born in 1970 and began using apple/mac computers when you were 11 (in 1981). Assuming you started fixing computers on that same day, this would mean you have 'fixed' 666.66~ computers per year since that date - allowing no time off for weekends or holidays. This would mean people have brought you two computers EVERY DAY SINCE YOU WERE 11 to fix. I find this, like MOST things you state, VERY SUSPECT.Â
Be well. Game on.
