Just an idea that I had...

Let's make a list of popular websites that try to be sneaky and download spyware/malware to your computer, just to help those newbies who are trying to figure out where they got their problems from, they can check this list and see if they've visited any of these sites with Internet Explorer. Doesn't mean that they HAD TO HAVE gotten the scumware from, but just a possible source.

I'll start.

That's actually not a bad idea. :up:

But maybe we should just list the sites underlined instead of posting the actual links just in case they click on it by accident?

Hotmail.com downloads spyware onto a computer?

 

[dvk01]

Please do NOT post links to malware sites

We try to stop people being infected not make it easy to infect someone

I know you meant well but working links to any malware site will be removed

Sounds like a good idea.We all might be suprised.

I thought that was what the hosts file was, a list of sites which add adaware, spyware and adds etc?

Where can one read "the host" file pray tell??

IE-Spyad and the MVPS host files have a lot of websites in their lists.

WDP,

Vist this website for information about host files and where they are located.

The link doesn't work. Thanks anyway.
