Nice job Malsua on your FR Homepage. You've got it all covered. I think from now on when this stuff comes up I'll just send folks directly to your FR Homepage.
Thanks. I just updated it to cover the hosts file. Ran across a hijack last week that took all 404 pages(page not found) and redirected them to a whole list of places. Funny enough, it redirected all attempts to get to all the virus vendors and various other support files to the 404 page. Heh. It was essentially "We've got you now, and we're not going to let you even LOOK for help"
Perhaps if they nail Spamford Wallace, the spam king/spyware king, some of the other companies won't think the financial/legal risk is worth it.
Good luck!
