So the first question is how do I know this is a fake site warning. Well I did my research I went to Phishtank.com and check to see if my URL was being blocked. I also clicked the link to see what this link went “Activate my Web protection software”.

[ad]This site now matter how real looking is a URL Hijacker and is what we call a scareware Sponsor for [intlink id=”3607″ type=”post”]Personal Antivirus Scareware Site[/intlink] and if your getting this screen it is time to get get Rid of it.   You can check out the others like [intlink id=”3872″ type=”post”]SecurityBrowseradviser.com[/intlink] it is exactly the same.

These sites gets installed in unsuspecting computers by way of exploits, backdoors, Trojans, or unsafe downloading practices. This usually means that if you have it you should remove it by any means necessary because this software has been know to cause more and more trouble as time goes by. This software is fake ware, it tries to tell you have a virus and that they can get rid of it. In fact, this software is not designed with Antivirus engine in it but to illicit pop ups and warning to raise the users security concerns about the computer in question. Downloading programs from bit torrents or other unsafe ways can and most likely will have these types of programs installed alongside the program you wanted.

4chan and Woofer equals Chris Pirillo

Paul

I was doing my usual looking around the internet and I found Woofer, this is almost like Twitter but a little different.  woffer is:

We are in no way associated with Twitter.

This is simply a novelty website where we thought it would be funny to have a minimum character requirement for public posts and see what people did with it.

What can you accomplish with the extra 1260 characters?

  • – Be eloquent.

  • – Use adverbs.

  • – DEA (don’t ever abbreviate).

[Via Woofer’s About page]

As I was checking this out I saw Chris Pirillo Posting comments almost like it was a bot:

chris-pirillo-woofer2Upon clicking the MORE button you would get something like this:

chris-pirillo-woofer1

[ad]Now I don’t know what the extra characters are but let’s talk about Moot and 4chan.    Moot is the founder and owner of 4chan.   I can only guess what is going on but the public timeline for Woofer is littered with  this as off tonight.   I don’t know if this is just to get attention to go to woofer or if this is an attempt to have 4chan attack Chris Pirillo, either way this will most likely be an ongoing development.  if anyone can figure out the characters by all means email me or leave a comment and I’ll do a followup story on this.   Although this could be because you have to the ridiculously long woof and might just be added by the server to fit the character requirements.  I do not know.

Piratebay is back up after a Day

Paul

PiratebayshirtAfter the Swedish police demanded the website be taken down on Aug 24, 2009.   I am quite surprised not a lot of websites talked about this.   As you can see they are back, after being down for about a day.

[ad]The court ordered the site’s major bandwidth supplier, Black Internet, to disconnect TPB from the Internet or face penalties of 500,000 kroner ($70,600). The ISP complied, saying that it had no choice but to uphold the law.

[via Torrent Freak]

Although Piratebay got another Provider, I am unure of what the courts will due because anything they do now will show just how foolish they are.    As you can see the shirt is quite funny and I am really interested to see what will happen in the coming months to years.   This is a combined effort from several different networks to take down Piratebay.     Some of you who are having trouble getting to this site should clear your cache.   You should be able to get to that site with no trouble.
