A warning...

[SKBT]

Do not go to Explosm (Dot) net  I was browsing around on it minding my own business when suddenly a java script activated and downloaded "win 7 antivirus 2012". This is not a real anti virus program. It will completely trash your computer. It's really nasty

Here's a video that saved my computer (and butt)

I just got done fixing my computer at 1am.

Thats why I always browse using NoScript for Firefox.

[Reier]

Dang I've heard this thing is nasty.

[SKBT]

It is very nasty.

That fake antivirus virus is annoying. Fortunately, Malwarebytes took care of it for me last year, just like it took care of that ransomware this year.

Explosm? That's cyanide and happiness, right?

Eeyup

[Enigm@]

I bet they did it for the lulz.
I stopped reading that site in 2008 so eh, really don't care.

Computer viruses...there's just something about them that makes me want to track down the kinds of people who program and release them with such intent, and mash them to a bloody pulp with a blunt instrument until they stop moving.

Calm down, Doctor.

Seriously, what makes them worse than common thugs? Nothing, in my opinion.

Most people make viruses usually make them because they're incredibly easy to make. A kid that made a virus in 1999 could be the CEO of an anti-virus company today.

[ty4er]

That means you might've gone to explosm.com, not .net as SKBT is warning us about.

idk i never have been to any of them

[Badnik96]

Hold on, I had this thing once. My uncle managed to help me get rid of it :P
