A quickie diary to warn everyone.
There's an ad in the right sidebar of the Fox News site which tried to load the Antivirus 2009 virus onto my system.
Anti-tax Tea Party: All day coverage
Be safe and DO NOT click on this ad.
I shut my machine down when the Antivirus notice popped up, so I think I'm clear.
I've e-mailed the site administrator and the advertising contact at Fox News to let them know. I don't have much respect for Fox News, generally, but this is not Anti-Fox propaganda.
I'm hoping they'll take care of this ASAP. Then they can spout whatever nonsense they want to, as long as people aren't susceptible to virus attacks from unscrupulous advertisers.
If I hear back from them, I'll delete this diary.
[Update] - I don't have a Flickr account but you can see the ad on the FNC site in a duplicate post at Whiskey Fire. As I mentioned in a comment below, it doesn't look like an ad - it looks like part of the programming sidebar.
