This might be old news to some of you but good info if not:

F-Secure staff has found a malicious website that utilizes a spelling error when typing the name of the popular search engine - 'Google.com'. If a user opens a malicious website, his/her computer gets hijacked - a lot of different malware gets automatically downloaded and installed: trojan droppers, trojan downloaders, backdoors, a proxy trojan and a spying trojan. Also a few adware-related files are installed.

The name of the malicious website is 'Googkle.com'. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE! Otherwise your computer will get infected! We have reported the case to the authorities.

Geeze! Not just one Trojan, but a whole package. Then it prevents you from going to get help by blocking connections! :eyespop:

Thanks for the warning, Cache.

It sounds like in this case you don't even have to download or click on anything...just enter the website and you're doomed.

Wow, thanx for the warning Cache! This time I definately WON'T let my curiousty get the most of me :mrgreen: That sounds pretty nasty and I'm not up to the challenge of getting crap off my computer......:rofl:

(I have a bad habit when ppl say DON'T my mom said all I ever heard was DO hahaha....

Well, seeing as I really dont care about reformating my computer, I went to http://googkle.com

And it looks like it has been shutdown, I get an Error: Host Not Accessible so I assume that the site has been shutdown by the host.
