Virus on web page !

[Robbie Roberson]

While searching for knives, I found a web page that has a virus, does anyone want it ? (just kidding)

Seriously, I really did find one and my virus protection deleted it before it got in.

I am afraid someone else searching for knives might click on it too.

Looks exactly like a normal knife web site, no way you notice anything unusal like specific wording that I noticed.

I clicked on it and it has knife names to search for and then you notice mixed in with all the knife names is some other inapropriate language (for knife sites) and pictures pop up, then a video type deal tried to load.

If anyone wants to see the web page heading, I can give a link to the whole "all the web" page where specific page is listed (safe) and tell you exactly where it is on that web page and you can see for yourself, this really craps me off because it's another one of those "involuntary" tricks to get you to a site.

Or......what do you think about this ? Is this a common thing ? I have never seen this before now.

I hope everybody is running virus and spyware protection and updating it regularly, and also installing all Critical Updates from Microsoft if you use a Microsoft operating system or other software. Specific recommendations can be found in Gadgets & Gear.
