Click Here To Infect Your PC!

Posted by kdawson on from the proving-a-point dept.

Email me for FREE viruses writes "Just how many people would click an ad saying "Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!"? According to the security researcher who ran that very ad on Google for 6 months, 0.16% (409 of 259,723) would click on it. 98% of those people were running Windows. The Google Adwords campaign cost $23 in total, which works out to $0.06 per infection had the site actually been malicious."

    I'd just like to point out that all of you posting on this thread got here by clicking a link which says "Click Here To Infect Your PC!". Therefore, by the authors logic (and the logic of many of the posters themselves) you're all a bunch of morons. Congratulations!
