I don't like the Daly Fail I mean Daly Mail myself but I have nothing against people who like to read the Daly Mail. It's just too Depressing for my taste.

A couple weeks ago this happened to me:

My home computer was running fine, I clicked on a DM link somebody posted here and within that link I clicked on something else (probably a celebrity teaser on the side but I honestly don't remember) and my computer was instantly attacked. I was kicked off the internet, I could not get back on, and anytime I clicked on explorer pop-ups would invade my screen. They were pop-ups that said they were from Microsoft (looked just like a Microsoft screen w/ logo etc) claiming to be the Microsoft anti-virus software, telling me that my computer was infected but my edition of the anti-virus software had expired and I needed to upgrade to the 2011 edition. An order screen (again with the Microsoft logo) with fields (name address credit card etc) popped up and I guess I was supposed to fill that in.

Anyway, I did a system restore and everything was fine. I called Microsoft and they said they had been getting calls about this malware/virus/whatever you call it, and it was definitely not from them.

The most interesting part was that it came from the Daily Mail website which I have previously visited and clicked around on many times.

I don't think it would be beyond their IT department, but, then again it probably is, knowing the DM.
