kudos:1 | Grabbed it from file hippo rather than using the stub installer from Adobe. Installed over top of 10. Seems to open files a little quicker.
Thanks for responses. |

| In this case it might have been safe using File Hippo but not always.

Thanks for that. Good read from Bill. Will keep my eyes peeled. I don't think I had any hostages on board. Luckily, I have NoScript and ABP on Fx which likely blocked the bigger download button offered. I didn't even see a download option other than the one at the top right. |

Was just made a hostage on File Hippo when i disabled Ghostery.
It redirected me through an add to here htt://delivery.switchadhub.com/adserver/www/delivery/afr.php?zoneid=3393&cb=1354012430 which then went to match.com*********
It was not even opened in a new tab.
Used to recommend them as a fully trusted site.

| A little off the topic about this - but it is an javascript/iframe redirect. |

Creepy..when I downloaded adobe, noscript + ABP were fully armed. I didn't allow JavaScript. Will likely pause before using filehippo in the future. |

Was trying to recreate what siljaline drew attention to, so i also disabled ABP and allowed scripts globally on no-script too.
Still sandboxed with Sanboxie though.

I think this kind of problem will only worsen and become more deceptive, as site/product managers become more clever and desperate for clicks, "referrals," and revenue on a "free" Internet. I'm by no means an advocate of pay-per-view websites, but I keep on getting ever stronger feelings that the revenue model used until now to finance website design and operation is showing more and more cracks near its foundations.
