What is a trustworthy web site, part 3
This one is just disgusting.
In at least one case, criminals have steered traffic to a web site with malicious software by setting up a fake video memorial web site for an accident victim.
Visitors to the site were told that they needed software to view the video (alarm bells should be going off in your head at this point) and were given a link to click to download it. The software was spyware of course.
You can't ever let your guard down.
