From todays Jerry Pournelle, Chaos Manor In Perspective...

"I found that list by Googling [ cash for clunkers qualifying cars ] which took me to www.cashforclunkersfacts.com/qualifying-cars. That ended me up with a list, but also a four page URL. When I tried to visit this site again I got a message that the site was banned and may have infected me. That sent me off to Norton to scan my system in a bit of a panic. I've never seen a many-page URL (most of it consisted of numbers like 23467,26743,etc.) I'm not really worried that going to that URL actually compromised Firefox -- OneCare is still active and I've heard nothing -- but I am wondering what happened to make the site "banned" in the last half hour. Incidentally, it's banned on Internet Explorer as well as Firefox if that matters. I suspect it's a matter of overload from people trying to get in on the free money.."

If you are accessing Cash For Clunkers, at some point (application?) the NORMAL agree/accept notice is available to accept or reject..don’t do it, then a notice comes up that your computer now belongs to US government and any content...etc...phones, everything if you are at home according to Beck Show.
