That was a trip!

The "odd" post a few minutes ago left me blind in one eye.

40 views in under three minutes wow!

If you clicked on any of those links you've also got some malware problems.

There is some sad people in this world.


Hats of to the mods it was gone pretty fast.

A lot of these kinds of sites will install malware that pretends to be anti-malware (I work with this stuff at my job). There is a ton of this garbage out there and can be difficult to remove. Be sure you run a good, up to date Internet security package.

I don't worry to much about it anymore I've been using linux since red hat 5.2 and glad to see windows gone for me. Still have to debug the wife and kids systems from time to time. Although I don't know if the various forms of malware affect linux or not really. I'm more of a hobbyist with linux than a advanced user.

Thats even better. Linux is more secure, and the hackers dont write malware that target these systems nearly as much.
