What? :shock:

 

The idea is that the link is invalid to stop people from clicking on it and landing in the scam site. Why on earth would you want to actually visit it?

 

 

 

 

 

Well we already know the next person who's going to get hacked. >_>

 

I think you should do him a favour and ban his IP address so he will not get hacked. :D

 

 

 

I would like to know the link so i can look at site it will be intresting , and i log on see what fuss is about

anyone know the link please?

 

oh and do you guys know how i download viruses i need to find out how to download them so i dont download them.

Just to say, one way to get a virus, simply going to a website. Yes, some sites are made to give viruses to people.

does this site have viruses , i hope not , i been on internet now for 3 years without one virus

99% of webpages won't give you a virus, they are perfectly legitimate sites.

 

 

 

The best solution to avoid getting a virus or other malware is to learn about them, be aware that not everything on the internet is trustworthy, that there are people out there who want to hack your computer.

 

 

 

Should this be moved off global announcement now? The scammers have more or less stopped, I haven't noticed any for the last week or two.

i demand it stays forever.

A good way to make sure if a site is trustworthy or not is to use WOT (Web of Trust).

 

It's an add-on to your internet browser which can tell you a bit about the site's Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliabity, Privacy and even Child Safety. It doesn't cover all the sites, but it's a good way to see about a site's history before even setting foot in the actual site. If you do however click into a flagged site, SiteAdvisor warns you before you enter but you can still enter regardless.

For those who don't want to add something onto your browser, you can simply go to www.siteadvisor.com and type in the site you're visiting before entering it. You can usually find user reviews and even tested download reviews from the site itself.

 

 

 

My rule of thumb is that if a site is phishy, (Get the pun? :mrgreen:) don't click on it! Or just look at the URL bar, lol.

No objections from me. :thumbup:

Moved to Announcements, for posterity. :)
