Re: [Scam] Hijacked browser - Fake Virus Scan

"Not clicking on your link, it is not a good idea to post a link to a malware site, try posting it without the http in front."

Yeah point taken. But I figured that the kind of folks in here, have the good sense to understand that I am not posting the link, as an open invitation to to click indiscriminately, besides which I reckoned that there would be a number who could quarantine the little bastard, on a virtualized machine or a live Linux distro etc. I assumed a reasonably interested party would want to check it out and find out WTF is going on and see that it is genuine fraud.

"As far as firefox is concerned, I use no-script as an add-on which should stop those kinds of scripts however not being a security expert I will leave that up to others."

Hmmm. Welll that's one approach. On the other hand hunting the little f***ers down and putting them in hospital would be more effective. I am so f**king sick if the complacency. The attitude seems to be that we all just need to adapt to the situation. F**K that for a joke. This is bullshit and I want to see some blood. F**K those little C**TS screwing peoples lives up. At least they need to be hunted down and dealt with legally. I first saw that shit like 8 months ago. this scam is probably like, a couple of years old by now.
