This gave me a chuckle a few minutes ago....

I was looking for info on the size of the rail on an ICS SA80, and it brought me to a page which popped up a Windows box saying I have a virus, and it was about to scan my system...after a couple of seconds, it opened this page in my browser -

The only problem though......I'm running Linux

It looked authentic though - for someone not overly familiar with computers, it could work.

This is the link if you want to see it for yourself - but be warned - clicking on the "Remove All" button WILL download a trojan or virus to your PC.

If you're stupid enough to do it, dont blame me for the consequences !

Got something similar a few years ago, only, it wasnt browser based (ive had that one too, more recently and clocked it for what it is) the other was very very realistic... faked windows defender... which I had, and I fell for it
boom boom splat. Reformat job.

I contracted it a few weeks back, though it's been taken care of. It's very convincing to anyone who wouldn't be au fait with malicious programs though. I've since had to deal with it on three laptops from lads at work.

Looks really convincing, except for the 100% being written over the box it looks real enough.

And for the first time that I've ever seen the Airsoft News thread has left the front page :eek:

Yeah, if you look at it for any more than a few seconds it looks fake. The grammar contained in some of the text is atrocious too.

But for someone who wouldn't be particularly au fait with computers, it looks pretty realistic. And an awful lot of Windows users click OK or whatever affirmative button comes up without even reading the text that pops up.

I've seen too many people get excited at those "congradulations you are the 100000th vistor click here to claim you prize"

The computers in school were ridled with viruses and just about everything you can get from the ads.

Is it just me or does the website armyshop.ie not work?
I just tried it again after a long time and it still doesn't load.
Is it me or their website?

Firekitten · 06-06-2011 06:27PM

Its you.

richieffff · 06-06-2011 06:30PM

Damn it, I've always wanted to see that website

Firekitten · 06-06-2011 06:47PM

try it again? might have been a temporary thing.

richieffff · 06-06-2011 06:50PM

No its been doing for a long time, its just that I was talking to the owner on Sunday and he seems to have a lot of stock.

I haven't a clue why it doesn't work.

ronan keane · 06-06-2011 06:50PM

Works for me

If you're there, am I calculating this right?

Fuel consumption over 1 minute = 600lbs, x time to destination 80 minutes = 48,000lbs required fuel to destination?

I've got to see that....

looks genius.

Decoy · 07-06-2011 03:22PM

Got to agree, it's a must-see alright. Strong cast, sounds like half-decent script writing and a scenario that only the Irish could get their heads around.

swiftblade · 07-06-2011 05:32PM

Good Luck to all you Leaving Certers tommorow (Me included)

Damo 2k9 · 07-06-2011 07:23PM

+1 what swiftblade said, if the rionegro mandate wasnt something to look forward to during the leaving cert i think i may have cracked :P

Now, back to learning hamlet!
