How Much Harm Can One Web Site Do?

Posted by timothy on from the depends-on-what-os-you're-running dept.

Ben Edelman has written extensively on issues including censorship and spyware. He's got a very interesting piece on his site now about who profits from spyware, and how much spyware can be installed on a Windows XP machine when the user simply visits a single Web site using Internet Explorer.

  1. Sorry to say it but it's HIS fault by matth · · Score: 1, Troll

    Ok.. so I watched the video and as is usually the case.. he lies... he DID allow it to run.. He GOT an error about scripting being wrong on the site and said "yeah let's let scripting continue to run" rather then saying.. NO NO NO don't run any more... yeah sorry if you're that stupid you deserve what yo u get.
