New virus ploy has got to stop. post #1  quote:



Well at least I think it's new. Last week I accidently ended up on a porn site that push down no less than 7 trojans and adware onto my computer. Ok granted it was a porn site, but today I did a search on a song to try and find out what year it came out. Found a site about the song and low and behold it push down at least 3 Trojans to my computer. My Antivirus caught them thank goodness. But it scares me that now even halfway legit sites are pushing down Trojan viruses.

Has anyone else experienced this?
