WOW !!!
I just bookmarked these two articles and visited them with konqueror.
I accessed the infected site with konqueror, and laughed at the results.
I would not like to have visited the infected site in question with MS-IE,
so I am sure it would have been very dangerous to do so,
even without clicking on anything ,
once you see that is not the thing you searched for.
It is just too late ....
With konqueror, I have examined these sources, and laughed at what tried to do...
(with the confidence that it would not harm my machine in any way, whatever it would be)
I will keep the bookmark to the infected site,
just in case someone with a windows machine
argue with me that it is not possible...
I would maybe send them these links and see if they are stupid enough to follow the links
even if it is enclosed with full infection warnings...
I find it a marvel of the technology and human stupidity
that 90% of the world will use a gaming machine (Windows)
to administer en enterprise.
What happenned in the last 15 years in the IT market just surprise me,
but I can understand the tendency of the users to have something who look good,
instead of something who works well.
I just can't understand the tendency of managers to equip users with
something who look good, instead of something who works well.
I am still laughing, and questionning myself...
