    Xbox One S Microsoft edge Virus/Malware


    Just curious but, since the one s is newer than the original, is it possible for the one s to get a virus from unsafe websites? Been trying to figure out this and I looked around but have seen that no its not since the xbox cant download files. So far though
    that theory is only for the original xbox one and I cant find anthing regarding the one s. So is it possible that the xbox one s can get a virus?

    :)

    Xbox One S Microsoft Edge Virus/Malware

    Just curious but, is it possible to get a virus on the Xbox one s? Since the one s is new, is it possible? I 've seen posts saying its not because it cannot download files but that only applied to the original xbox one so since the one s is different is
    it possible?

    Xbox One S Microsoft edge Virus/Malware

    There has been no confirmed virus on Xbox one from Microsoft. Xbox being more and more like a pc means it could more then likely get virus. The likelyhood of that is rare being no hacker will make a virus for the xbox when the code is somewhat different
    then on pc and no person on xbox is normally worth hacking with a virus nor will anyone get anything out of a virus on xbox. As talented and skilled hackers are nowadays then can make a million viruses so quick on pc and just send it off and hack people on
    the pc.

    The Xbox works very differently to a PC. The OS is far more locked down and apps and games will run "on top" of it rather than integrated into it. Since everything runs in it's own container, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to get a virus on it
    at all.

    Any viruses that you get on a PC are all through "win32" which doesn't exist on any console.

    The differences between the One and One S are also negligible, apart from the HDR and 4K they are identical in the software side of things. They run in very much the same way.

    I've never heard of any sort of issue like this.

    Both consoles will use the same Edge App, so its safe to say its like for like in the safety department.

    Xbox one elite purchased 30/1/16 has virus

    Both the Xbox One OS and Edge on Xbox One are in lock down. You could go to the most nastiest virus, malware infested website on the web and your console still won't get a virus.
