Life-Ruining Browser Hijackers
LehiNephi writes "If you're not diligent enough at whacking malware on your computer, you could end up in jail, whether or not you actually did something wrong. Hijacked browsers can not only annoy you with a never-ending string of pop-ups, they leave a less-than-virtuous browser history behind on your computer. This guy claims that some piece of malware hijacked his home page, opened an unstoppable chain of pop-ups, and filled his cache with porn. He now has to register as a sex offender, even though he denies that he did anything his computer says he did. Makes me glad for built in pop-up blocking in Mozilla."
try avoiding the popups on that Last Measure site, you'll see how well your "popup blocker" works... I'm not kidding...

Am I the _only_ one that remembers the inspectors being let in, receiving cooperation? Hans Blix, ring
a bell? Are you on drugs?
Hussein was a prick of a whole different kind, but he cooperated with the inspectors a hell of a lot more
than Bush cooperated with the 9/11 investigation.

Actually, Vampyre is a older spelling that is still used on ocassion. Both spellings have the same meaning but vampyre is usualy used to refer to members of the vampiric subculture rather than fictional vampires.
On a side note I just checked the Oxford English Dictionary and vampyre is listed as a valid spelling.
www.drudgereport.com seems to have a figured out a way to get a pop-under window around the google toolbar. (Even though the google tool bar says it is blocking). Is anyone else having this problem? Any ideas for a solution?
There is no 'vampiric subculture'; there's only a bunch of tools who need to drop their WoTC cards and get out of their parent's basement during the day more often.
Don't forget to wrap your computer in tinfoil and wear your hat at all times.
