Greetings to other fans of AVAST! I Found this in the Mozilla forum just now, and wanted to post it here:
According to this security site:
http://www.techworld.com/security/news/index.cfm?NewsID=3585
Misspelling “Google” (Do NOT Attempt to Visit named Site!!) will install all sorts of junk on your PC. Browsers using PCs are targeted - not just I.E. or any other in particular.
Please read the above article and take no action toward “looking at the named site;” you are warned twice in the article as well.
Perhaps adding those “bad ones” to your hosts file would be good protection!
Cheers and thanks for a great product - I consider AVAST! the best and recommend it to everyone.
