Word of warning

Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 05:24 PM by mvd

There are some websites relating to Crestor and Switzerland that have .ru endings that look legitimate from a Google search but have the ByteVerify and sometimes MHT-Redir trojans. There's even a Hilary Duff site that comes up prominently in a yahoo! search that has malware. Exploits on websites seem to be on the rise, so be careful. Norton AV does not detect all of them.

2. You're welcome

I knew that that Crestor and Switzerland would be of interest to some DUers, and also some of DU's parents may have youngsters surfing the Hilary websites.

3. Thanks a lot for the heads up!

It's getting more and more expensive to clean up viruses on my home computer.
