Warning on "I hate you" Thread-Possible Data Mining
I clicked on the 1st page of the thread twice and my firewall privacy system gave me the following warning. When I first clicked on this thread my firewall gave me a message that it blocked a command to send my credit card information to the thread? It did it twice. is someone mining data here?
This is what it gave me: REND MICRO PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 Privacy Protection has prevented confidential information from being sent over the Internet. To allow this information to be sent: - If the Antifraud Toolbar is available, click Manage Exceptions, and then select Allow private information to be sent to this address - If the Antifraud Toolbar is not available, open the main console and add the address in the Antiphishing & Content Protection > Privacy Protection > Approved List

I did a search and didn't find anything, but this is getting curiouser and curiouser, nonetheless...

I'm glad I have a computer for busness and this one for surfing. No important info on the surfer.

-Look at pcmagazine etc. for the latest virus out breaks,
-download all updates-including adaware and anti-coolwebsearch, -reboot in safemode and do a full virus scan -erase history, cookies, autocomplete, and everything in Windows/Temp file immediately -cancel your CCs, notify the companies in writing and recorded phone so they can act, and order new cards with different #'s from your bank. Sounds like you got a nasty one. There are lots of foreign orginized crime rings involved in data mining/theft. Heck, even N. Korea is the biggest counterfitter of the US dollar.

Original "I hate you thread" deleted.
Did anyone else have a WAV file called "HaHa" downloaded to the folder they last dowloaded to? I think that was part of that thread. The HaHa WAV didn't seem to have any viruses in it, but I wonder... -Z-man.

Use Firefox and adblock plus and you won't see any of that stuff.
Fortunately, if you don't, Trend Micro does a pretty good job of blocking stuff.
