If any of you have been voting at Hello Magazine I'd seriously consider
not visiting their web site.
I'd visited the Hello Magazine web site for a few days without
incident. This morning I logged on to do my daily vote and suddenly I
started to get a ton of odd virus ad pop-up web sites opening on my
desk top. And an actual virus downloaded to my computer in the midst of
it all becaue it was one that my virus software could not block.
So since the web site I was on when the virus web site popped up and
downloaded was Hello Magazine, I believe it came from there (a possible
ad link from their site?)
I'm not sure, but Hello Magazine may have second party ads on their
site. So, if any of the ads have harmful code embedded in them, you can
get a virus without even having clicked on the ad.
It may take days to rebuild my computer. All these years virus free
because I'm always hyper careful. But one snuck through.
