Tonight I was doing my usual cycle through the major news sites to see if anything interesting was happening in the world. When I hit www.foxnews.com within a couple of seconds it tried to re-direct me to some other web site telling me that my system was infected. AVG immediately caught and popped-up this dialog:
I’d barely been there long enough to see something about Saddam Hussein’s pearl-handled AK-47 being returned to Iraq.
The funny part of this as it relates to Fox News, in keeping with the theme of this series of posts, is that one of the ads their systems were serving up was compromised with some sort of malware. One would think that a giant corporation like Fox News would do a better job of screening the material that they embed (aka: advertisements) in their pages.
