Seriously, we all know this website can give you a virus, my friend Andy accidentally destroyed my OS and I couldn't recover it back in January by using IE instead of Firefox once. Just 10 minutes ago when I hit refresh and the Ad Popup thing launched it tried to put 2 virus exploits on my machine. The Bloodhound Exploit # 109 and the Byte Verify Trojan.
If the guy who runs this website (swamper) can't check or control what content his advertisers load on his site, I feel that we should all just abandon it in means of something else. Already more than half the people I know refuse to use the site because it ruins their machine.
