If you stop visiting those "sites" you won't get them...

I had a client call me a few weeks ago to come into his studio and fix one of their computers infected with a malicious Trojan. Every-time I tried to do anything it took me either to a Viagra site or a porno site, sometimes both. I haven't seen that much porn in my lifetime. Nothing like trying to do that kind of work in an office environment, with a nice large monitor. At least I could turn the sound off!

It took four hours to fully remove the damned thing (it had a rather ingenuous re-install routine). I don't know what his employees had been doing with that particular box that allowed that thing in but I can imagine. I was just five minutes away from hitting the clean install routine when I finally managed to eradicate it.
