Glasto related virus alert

I just did a google search for "Glastonbury 2009 lineup" and the top hit is a website that tries to install a trojan.

The website is glastonburyfest DOT org

Do not go to this website.

Just thought I'd give you all a heads up.

hmmm that might explain why my computers been acting weird. Has anyone clicked on it? I cant play videos on youtube and stuff properly, all the sound is muffled

[glasto_freak]

That would explain it. McAffe keeps popping up and saying it's blocked something, and the end of the file name is glastofest. That would explain it. thanks alot.

Don't open the site

I thought this thread was going to be about swine flu again

Yeah I saw that. Google says "this site may harm your computer" so I didn't open it. It's their top result for "glastonbury lineup 2009". You'd think they'd not put harmful sites at the top of the results. Oh well.

I think it might be one of the adverts that is on the website that is causing the problem, so it is not necessarily the website owners fault. I have been on that site a few times before and there has been no problem. I would say that that is more likely what the problem is, than them maliciously putting something on their website themselves.

Rogue ads are a known thing and can happen to any website.
