Defying Malware's urging!


As I was searching for images in Google.com with the search words, ‘Spit bugs’, I clicked on an image that displayed a dracula-like woman. It led me through a website (www.dale.se/msi-aquatic-bugs/) to another one (www.islandeyes.com). Then a web page that exactly resembled MY COMPUTER page (of Windows XP) appeared. In it each folder was shown in red coloured words to have a varying quantity of viruses. Then, a dialogue box opened and urged to click on the ‘remove’ button to remove all those viruses from the folders! I was worried and stunned first. But I then deleted the page by clicking on the Close button (X). I scanned the computer for any infecting viruses. But there were no viruses at all. That proved that there was a malware or a spy ware programme. To get a screen-shot of the website, I repeated all it again. But I could not get that web page again! Do you have such an experience? Share it with me.
