Watch a silent malware download
« on: July 23, 2006, 07:02:13 PM »
Hi malware fighters,

You know that when your OS has not been fully patched, you can run risks when you surf to unsafe sites. The last thing you would like to happen is to have a rootkitted trojan being downloaded on your machine on-the fly.  Like to see how this goes, watch this film: http://www.siliconvalleysleuth.com/2006/07/get_hacked_on_t.html

Hi DavidR,

This could mean two things: server down or the proverbial linkrot. Sorry,
