[PBS Poll-435]

3. I linked from Drudge a story about low World Series Ratings

[Dennis Donovan]

2. A troll so bad you needed to call the Federal Trade Commission?

;)

[PBS Poll-435]

4. Matt Drudge linked to a spyware/adware/TH site with the ambiguous link of "Record Low Ratings."

I have had it. He is going down.

[Flabbergasted]

6. So the spyware wasn't on Drudge itself? nt

[PBS Poll-435]

11. I believe that his site "disguised" the link

nt

[Dennis Donovan]

8. Good! ANY site that does that should be pulled!

:thumbsup:

[Flabbergasted]

5. For anyone who clicked on the link and got a virus warning....

What spyware program were you using.....?

I have AVG and got no warning.

[BlooInBloo]

7. I have avg and I got a warning. It might be a function of how your browser is set up.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

9. I'm running AVG now and it hasn't found anything yet either.

12. Do you love it?

Light as a feather, as a FEATHER, I tell ya!

[CheeseEnchiladas]

15. Elitist !

Just kidding ;) Mac FTW!

[AlCzervik]

17. i dropped my macbook, i have the small white one, it's a gonner.

[NYC_SKP]

23. I dropped my black macbook, screen gone, but got it replaced...

for about 400, Apple wanted 800.

I got the Air while waiting for repair because my boss is nice (repaired the macbook screen on my own dime).

Anyway, if it's a goner, its a goner, but if its the screen it can be replaced for less than Apple cost.

[AlCzervik]

25. i sent you a pm btw, that's why i didn't respond earlier.

[mvd]

27. The main file was corrupt

And therefore AntiVir does not detect it. There was a file detected on first entry, though. Thread was removed, so no harm is done.

[No Passaran]

13. Ok. Here it goes

1. Don't go on Drudge
2. If you must go on Drudge, use a Mac
