This is just a question not a problem, is it possible for the 360 to get a virus from a download or a copy from a pc or a backup ?

:major :cool

I don't really know the answer to this for sure. I would assume it is possible, but I don't know much about the Xbox. You may want to ask this question in the Game Forum or even the Hardware Forum.

According to Microsoft the Xbox has hardware locks that prevent homebrew code from running, since homebrew code can not be executed, this SHOULD keep the Xbox virus free.

Apparently there are a lot of errors and problems that can make a PC user think it is a virus. See if you can match your problem here:
