The Devil Online
It seems a few people are having computer problems, so I thought this might interest you. If Satan could access the Internet, this would be the website he'd create...
Goggle.com [1:37]
It just goes to show, never type the URL directly, always use Goggle- uh, I mean Google .

HERE's what McAfee has to say about it. If you scroll down you'll see some comments from people who've had their machine destroyed by Goggle.
And yes, I'd also like to hear what psi has to say about this bitch of a site.

I've seen some sick stuff before during my days as an IT person. On an unpatched (virgin) Windows OS like 98, 2k, or xp, the compilation of exploits over the years can be throw at you.
All it takes is one exploit, then the flood gates are open. Yes, that stuff can happen on your Windows machine unless you have taken precautions to not allow ActiveX, IE, or anything else that is 'convenient'.
Rule of thumb is that the more convenient something is, the more exploitable it is. However, none of those exploits work on MacOS nor Linux. However, should MacOS or Linux ever get the same market penetration that Windows has, there will be more of an upswing of exploits against them as well.
This is basic evolution in action, if everyone has the same gene sequence (like everyone would use IE ), then all it would take is one virus to wipe them all out. The only limiting factor would be geographical deferences like mountains and North South axis, applied to computers... not connected to the Internet or using a non-standard web-browser like Opera.

Just so you know Gattsblackfalcon, the link in my first post is that same video at SpikedHumor and that's the runtime next to it...Wait, you didn't think it was a link to the actual site did you? Hahaha...I wouldn't do a thing like that would I?
Oh well, Youtube's more convenient. Remember, don't go to the actual site unless you're on somebody else's computer .

That may be a bad thing considering that Google is not a real word and that the founders of Google misspelled the word googol. Goggle is a real word as well.LordMune wrote:Thank god I can spell.

"googol
a unit of quantity equal to 10^100 (1 followed by 100 zeroes). The
googol was invented by the American mathematician Edward Kasner (1878-
1955) in 1938. According to the story, Kasner asked his nephew Milton
Sirotta, who was then 8 years old, what name he would give to a really
large number, and "googol" was Milton's response. Kasner also defined
the googolplex, equal to 10^googol, that is, 1 followed by a googol of
zeroes. These inventions caught the public's fancy and are often
mentioned in discussions of very large numbers."
It was a proper noun before it became a household name, now it is a pro-noun and a verb. However, goggle, googol, and google are are all spelled correctly, so your quip about 'Thank god I can spell.' really doesn't mean much in this instance.LordMune wrote:I was under the impression the full term was "googolplex" [EDIT: Wait, there it is]. Oh well.
Google is an established name however, which I can spell.

Depends on the motive of the person(s) who run the site.
I would suggest that it is intentional to cause as much harm to windows users as possible. Does it effect bsd, linux, or mac? No people say? Shit, I'm going to buy my next computer from Apple, people keep making hard for us Windows users.
If a single person can pull this off, think of groups of people, then think of businesses that hire out these groups. It happens regardless it is Government (any really) or Businesses. This stuff isn't lone gunmen stuff anymore, people make good money and where there is good money, there are businesses.
It is better to let the world know of these vulnerabilities than to let people be blissfully unaware before BOOM, someone has your computer hostage.
