Just had a security warning pop up for the "Bell of Lost Souls" Blog, do NOT open that website as you WILL be redirected to some scumbags website in Poland. For those unfamiliar with this latest virus, go to
Google and type: "DNS virus test" Use one of the test sites to check if your computer is looking up IP addresses properly. |

It is not the site itself but usually their ads. |

Yes mate, I suspect that too, though I find it disturbing that I did not click on any of those nor even sweep over one with my mouse. |

Adblock Pro is your friend, along with a heavy antivirus. |

You do not have to click on them because they are automatically being opened for you by the BoLS site itself. |

Another reason that I believe that the authorities should hunt down and kill the various cyber criminals. |

Yes mate, I suspect that too, though I find it disturbing that I did not click on any of those nor even sweep over one with my mouse. You don't need to.
The fact you can see the ad means it has already been downloaded from the blogs server to your computer. |

Which is what makes AdBlock so absolutely worth it! Plus it dramatically speeds up the loading on some websites, since you're no longer fighting 15 bajillion ad servers! |

It has more code running in the background than the porn sites that are famed for that sort of crap. Trackers and ads and who knows what else. I counted 116 pages of javascript code at one point. I just don't go there anymore. |

I don't go there either. I actually know the guy who runs it and have talked to him about it. Doesn't seem concerned. |

Found this site, listing checking sites link I am apparently OK. Phew! |

Any idea whether this has been resolved? |
