Visited attack site

Mooch

Hi guys,
I'm using Firefox v2.0.0.14
I followed a link yesterday on i-am-bored.com to a website and while nothing happened to me (no warning messages etc), other (PC) users on the forum of this website reported that the the website was an attack site.

No, sorry, thats what other users posted on the forum, i didn't get any warning messages..

do they say anything as it what the site tries to do exactly?

the site i posted says that it may be just links to other websites that contain "badware" - that's a new term for me - but if it's just spyware that it's linking to or containing i wouldn't be worried as spyware is generally targetted towards windows users.

No, I think its just being flagged by MacAfee, firefox etc. one guy tried to do a virus scan and keeps getting re-directed to yahoo jobs. another guy runs linux and said that the website had lots of pop-ups and tried to upload a virus.

Edit: other people reported no problems btw
