Re: asdf.exe / theonion.com

said by kw See Profile :

I loaded the page in IE, and it loaded the premerical page, but no ad. It rendered the page with errors however.
The premerical page probably rotates advertisers via cookies and whatnot. I think it is like a loaded gun with one bullet you may get, or may not.

I emailed the onion about it, maybe they can look into it.

If it happened to me (luckily caught by processguard) it must be infecting many many PCs per minute. I think many firefox users are not aware there are actual malware delivery vectors out there, that target older versions of the browser..
