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."

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.
