How web crawlers and other engines don’t constantly get infected with viruses?

257 views

By constantly downloading random information from the internet, wouldn’t you be exposing yourself to tons of malicious content? Aren’t there pages that can run malware without you even clicking on anything?

A better example than search engines might be something like “the wayback machine”, a site that actually saves the pages, and not just links.

You can read a manual on how to hurt yourself physically without being harmed. Just acting on it is damaging you
