My response, which may be copied by my friends... heart
The previous PM you sent me with information regarding viruses from accounts, deletion of one's own account, and statements made by GAIAOnline administration was absolutely and completely false. It is a very old chainletter, and you have more to fear from sending chainletters than doing what they say. Chainletters, as they are intended to be sent to everyone on a person's friendlist, actually slow down the productivity of the site. More information about them can be found in this GaiaOnline announcement.
In relation to information presented in the PM, GAIAOnline makes the following statements about viruses:

Nothing that you do WITHIN Gaia can cause your computer to become infected by a virus. Looking at a user's profile page or reading a user's private message CANNOT adversely affect your computer.
Do NOT create threads regarding this subject. It is a form of chain letter, and a violation of the TOS.

Further, accounts are never deleted. A person may be banned indefinitely, but accounts are not deleted.
In the future, please be aware of this information before clicking the 'Send to Friendlist' button. heart
