• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I was combing the web lastnight looking for a font. I was in Mac mode, and using Google to locate the freeware font sites. One I clicked on took me into a multiple link jump through perhaps 5 websites, blink blink blink, all in like 1 second, and bang, its a porn site and a virus had already uploaded.

But.... :d (the good part) exe programs dont work in Mac's. Glad I was in MacMode. The virus was saved as a document (exe file) and I trashed it and continued back to Google and my quest to find said font.



Thank you God! :amen:

Thats why I love AVG Pro, soon as it detects crap like that it stops me from entering the site.

Yup...I get a chuckle those few times that I get a virus trying to implant itself onto my Linux rigs too.
