Belatucadrus Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's the old "Don't stick your hand in the fire it's hot" thing, there's always some prat that refuses to believe until the blisters start to form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I MUST be intelligent, I didn't click on the link. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I MUST be intelligent, I didn't click on the link.Same here after reading all the warnings :0 Luckily the link isn't clickable so you have to go through the hassle of copying and pasting it into your browser.I did have thoughts about visiting the site and then getting my PC back to normal with my backup but I decided not to risk it in the end.I know, I'm a chicken :PNEVER under any circumstance visit this url using Internet Explorer and Windows� you have been warned.I use Firefox and as it doesn't use Active X, I wonder whether it is safer?I know I'm still using Windows so I'm still not going to risk it but I was just curious why the article mentioned Internet Explorer and no other browser?It's a wonder someone hasn't closed down that website if it's such a risk to Windows users?

rong Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 How do you know the link isn't clickable, if you didn't click it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 How do you know the link isn't clickable, if you didn't click it.Because there was no URL displayed on the taskbar when you move the mouse pointer over the link and also the URL wasn't underlined.Also I have had internet access long enough to be able to tell whether a link is clickable or not :P Finally as the URL would cause chaos to Windows users, I expect Admin have delibrately disabled the link so if you want to visit the website, then you have to make a conscious decision by copying and pasting the URL into your browser.
