the common denominator in all this is MS-Windows, get rid of windows (if possible) and you will be much better off with an immunity from this sort of infection, use some variation of *nix (BSD of Linux) and as others in this article commented using AddBlock & NoScript extensions on Firefox is your best bet at stopping this sort of thing...
the US Dollar is in the toilet, gasoline/diesel/fuel is more expensive than i ever seen it before in my life which drives the cost of groceries and everything else that has to be hauled by freight-train & truck up too. i would think anyone that works for a living has more important things to spend money on than music & video, you cant eat CD/DVD roms for breakfast, lunch & dinner...
when popular Linux distros get released there is no way in hell the servers can keep up with users wanting the new distro that just got released, and BitTorrent is the only way to get a copy, not all BitTorrent users are downloading music & video. and not all music & video is copywrite infringement, and how dare the ISPs tell customers how they use the bandwidth they are paying for!!!
i hope the FCC accepts and enforces this petition...
i heard a rumor there is a secret graphic hidden on the inside back cover of every mad magazine, you should run down to the store and buy one, then come back here and let us know what you found...
he should be fined for everything he has, 100% of his money in all banking accounts, have all his property taken away, real estate, valuables = gold, jewelry, computers, TVs, stereos, etc... everything he owns, and given a long prison sentence of 40 years...
i did a clean install of Slackware-12 without debus, without HAL and without udev, and built a custom kernel (2.6.23) trimming the fat (removing unneeded features & removing unneeded hardware support) and built most of it as modules except for filesystem support (ext3) which was built in to the kernel itself making an initrd unnecessary, and my system boots up in about 10 to 12 seconds, i did not time it with a fancy chronograph but i did watch it boot while keeping a close eye on a large wallclock...
the only thing i have to do without debus, hal & udev is mount removable drives manually (the old fashioned way)
use a file format that can be used by all Operating Systems, and use a single file format and not a mix of flash & and some other that need to work together in some obscure way, keep it simple & open...
try something other than debian or ubuntu or just as long as it is not debian based then, maybe slackware or if you feel like doing some work Crux is a good distro that forces all users to build their own kernel and has a ports system similar to gentoo without all the gentoo annoyances like extensive USE flags (already configured for i686)...
from what i seen (especially the bush admin) is that politicians prefer to avoid science and keep their constituents as ignorant as possible about science, the more ignorant the constituents the better the politicians chances are of getting reelected and the better the government can lie & manipulate them...
why not make a domain named www.ICANNOT.org and just make it a listing/cache of domain names already taken so users looking for a domain can see if a name is already taken...

with NoScript the use of FlashBlock is redundant, NoScript blocks all plugins (not just flash)...
i think the USA should pull the plug on them, (physically remove their intertubes from connecting to the US intertubes)...
i never said not to use anything for long distance communication, just don't trust the devices used for long distance communication...
do not trust anything electronic for communications anymore...

you can always tell a supercomputer by the big red "S" on its chest...
seen on a sign in a mechanic's garage:
Labor $10.00 Hr.
If you watch $15.00 Hr.
If you help $25.00 Hr
except it comes preloaded with xandros, and i wont buy the Asus Eee because Xandros signed a deal with Microsoft...
i refuse to support any Linux Distributer that signs deals with the enemy of GNU/GPLed FOSS software, the friend of my enemy is my enemy too...
