| - The Infected virus is a Roblox virus script which changes the name of every object in a place to "Infected". It is distributed by hooking itself onto ROBLOX models which can then be uploaded to ROBLOX and taken by other ROBLOX users. Infections sometimes have names that mock the creator of the place, such as "OH SNAP, YOU JUST GOT INFECTED XD XD" or "Good luck getting rid of this". Contrary to popular belief, this is not the same as exploiting, which is using data changing services to modify the computer's random-access memory to return incorrect values to the computer's central processing unit, which is then read by the ROBLOX Client and sent to the servers, causing exploits such as speed hacking by modifying the values for WalkSpeed, or because of ROBLOX's very minuscule use of sanity checks, allow for the deletion of parts in a game, or otherwise cause havoc to the server. Exploiting is generally prevented by using FilteringEnabled, which separates the instance between the client and the server completely. However viruses are not affected by FilteringEnabled as the virus scripts are run entirely on the server, not a single client.
