Not a virus but yesterday and now today got hit with a browser hijacker opening two different threads.
:dubious:
I’m a bit puzzled by your strident tone. I’m not sure how you think web browsers work, but differences in security between versions are rarely so dramatic as to immediately alter the probability of a user getting infected. They can try to catch certain types of cross-site scripting attacks (provided the site is rewritten to provide the browser with certain information), but for the most part the same malware scripts are going to run/not run in Firefox 3.6 as Firefox 4.0. Good anti-virus software is infinitely more important than one’s browser version, but even that can’t catch everything.
So it’s actually pretty useful for people to notify sites they have reason to suspect of being infected, even when they don’t have absolute ironclad proof. Yelling at them for daring to suggest the site with a history of malware problems is having malware problems seems far more counterproductive than the occasional heads-up that turns out to be a false alarm.
