    I was trying to submit my articles, and happened to run into this site. My norton+ad-watch caught it. It is a downloader virus which make my laptop get frozen. Luckly, it didn't damage the files on the laptop.

    be alert!

    Did you contact the website owner to let them know?

    I know it is better to let the owner know, but no, I didn't send him/her the email. because I don't want to go back to that site again, since it may do harm to my laptop.

    Yeah, no crap. Get a Mac! Virtually impervious to viruses. There's really no excuse for people any more. The new Intel Macs can run Windows (simultaneously with Mac OS) faster than some of the best PC's I've seen.
