I was combing the web lastnight looking for a font. I was in Mac mode, and using Google to locate the freeware font sites. One I clicked on took me into a multiple link jump through perhaps 5 websites, blink blink blink, all in like 1 second, and bang, its a porn site and a virus had already uploaded.

But.... :d (the good part) exe programs dont work in Mac's. Glad I was in MacMode. The virus was saved as a document (exe file) and I trashed it and continued back to Google and my quest to find said font.



Thank you God! :amen:

Thats why I love AVG Pro, soon as it detects crap like that it stops me from entering the site.

If you haven't been there yet, http://www.dafont.com/ is a great font site.

Yup...I get a chuckle those few times that I get a virus trying to implant itself onto my Linux rigs too.
