No. How's about you go there, take a screenshot, and send it to me? :lol:

On second thought, belay that. I don't want whatever electronic version of scabies your computer will have by then. ;)

I have to agree, it may not effect you because of any number of things. But all it takes is one unpatched WinXP machine (sp1) to sit out on broadband without the benefit of a firewall and you will still be toast.

This doubly so if you use IE right out of the box and goto goggle.com , it will eat you alive.

So all of you believe this instantly? And doesnt see it for the bullshit promotional ad it is?

But there are other sites or stuff like this around, and they scare me to bits. Ispecially since I'm pretty ignorant about how a computer works, and would have no idea what to do.

Advice taken :) .

The video isn't fake, check the McAfee link I posted on the first page and you'll see a big red X, which means bad. I've done a little research on this site (not directly) and if you're using Firefox it ain't all that dangerous. I wouldn't try it though, there isn't much point in going there unless you wanna wreck your machine 8) .

The URL doesn't matter, it's that people would do this at all that both scares me (despite firefox, SP2, and a firewall) and pisses me off. I don't fuck with your shit, why fuck with mine?
