Yahoo Scare: Hidden dangers in visiting porn sites

As much as I hate to wave the flag.......




I would point out this is a british company.....and oh, BTW? The billing company and the actual company seem to be one in the same.

Purdy reported that SexxxPassport's three-day trial requires downloading and executing "Authenticator" software

Although I agree with everyone and think that these guys are total assholes giving the rest of us a bad name, anyone that joins a site that requires some special software be downloaded is a freakin' idiot. (My opinion does not apply to "normal" software, like if you need to install Quicktime to watch a movie.)

Once again, I say the stupid people deserve what they get and don't need to be saved from themselves, even though these guys are assholes for preying on them.

Does anyone know where I can get some free cookies?

What I found most interesting about this story was that the day it came out, of course Drudge ran with it (with a headline like "Visiting porn sites breaks your PC security" or some nonsense). However, on that same day, one of Drudge's advertisers was using the flash vunerability to redirect people to a fake virus scan site, to install a "virus blocker" that is nothing more thana total back door that turns your system into a botnet zombie.

Idiots.
