Stupid Story 06-24-05

I was on a work computer that I was going to reinstall. So, I said to myself "What would happen if..." I went to a particular website and suddenly all the pop-ups started to appear, 5 at a time. Spyware starts showing up next to the clock, virus' overrun the system, and within 2 minutes, NT 2000 gives me the Blue Screen of Death, and goes into a constant reboot cycle. It is now completely useless.

I find it disturbing that a simple website can launch so much damage and destruction onto someones computer. It also bothers me that these site owners voluntarily rent out pop-up space to these types of things. Likely, they figure if your not protected, then you shouldn't be on the net to begin with.
