Thanks guys, I don't want to disappoint but I actually did know that it was a crappy pop up website. I just enjoyed it... I was making a vague attempt at being funny by contrasting the win.32 pop up ads (if you look close it's telling me that I need to enable active-x support.) with the fact that I'm running Ubuntu. Website's like that are the reason I have the computer over at my mom's house running Ubuntu also.<br>
<br>I can just hear the phone call... Arron the computer popped up and told me that it found a bunch of virus' and I payed the $50 that it was asking for but it doesn't seem to work. Can you come and make the anti-virus program it just told me to buy work??<br>
<br>Well guys that's all for my jokes today.<br><br>Arron<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 8:22 PM, Mark Riedesel <<a href="mailto:mriedesel@gmail.com">mriedesel@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Yeah, I visited the <a href="http://antivirus-scanner.com" target="_blank">antivirus-scanner.com</a> site and it did a neat<br>
little animated virus checker thing and then popped up a list of<br>
infections, then tried to coax me into downloading a neato exe file<br>
which is infected with..<br>
<br>
*drum roll*<br>
<br>
the Downloader.Win32.Fraudload virus!<br>
<br>
So, yes, definitely a site to avoid, and no, you're not infected with<br>
any viruses :-)<br>
