Twilight fans are getting attacked by viruses online
Posted by Matt on November 19th, 2009 | Comments (9)

Be careful where you surf the internet, Twihards. There is a great deal of spamming and viruses circulating the web and they are all targeted at us:

“It all begins with a web search: Users search for “Stephanie Meyer” (a misspelling of the name of the author of the Twilight books) on the web, and find (rather high) in the results a link to a result reading “Stephanie Meyer at 365Multimedia.com,” with the description “Stephenie Meyer interview on Twilight the movie starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.”

Sounds harmless enough, but 365Multimedia.com doesn’t actually host interviews (it’s a desktop background and screensaver website), and the link in question doesn’t actually go there either. Instead, users are directed to a malicious website that takes that age-old scareware path: A pop-up alerts users that they are infected with some sort of malware, and then directs them to a download site so they can get a phony antivirus software product to remedy the issue.”

To read more on the situation, click here and also here.

In short: just visit Twilight Source. It’s 100% spam and virus free. No fees!

those fake antivirus softwares. I get them a lot on Fanfiction.com. The one at fanfiction.net is fake with a capital F! F for fail. It looks like a screenshot that doesn’t even match what window boxes look like on my computer. But I’ve never seen this one before. This day in age, ever trust popups.

I actually find this to be pretty entertaing, honestly you have to be pretty dense to get some of these virus’s and if you really believe that if you click on this link you’ll get to talk to RPatz right now! you deserve to get a virus. On another note, that is why you just come to fan sites like these, because you don’t have to look up the info yourself and its virus free. :)
