ooh i'm mad...

I really hate malicious virus installing websites. Was just surfing for breeders who might by chance have a lavender silkie roo for sale....and then I get to a 'safe' site that then attempts to hijack my computer...right along with 'oh you need better virus software' messages.
Ya know, I think those individuals who think that infecting other people's computers with viruses is fun, should be publicly flogged. Or worse. Way to irritate people.....just sayin'
Sorry for the ramblin's on.

you can google search reporting the site...

your ISP may take a report your antivirus software company may also take a report

My sis had her computer crashed just by surfing on Facebook AND a look alike MSN download thingy. Just froze up her computer!

You really had to be careful nowadays.

Spend many hours at work cleaning up people's computers from this type of junk.

A public flogging sounds good to me.

So, any tips for us then? I run c-cleaner and Norton daily. Should that be enough? I thought I had something really slowing down my computer, but it was just problems here on BYC - I hadn't gone to another site all week, so hadn't noticed it was just BYC.
