LiveJournal recently introduced an ad-supported level. Over the last few days an advertiser used an ad to install the ErrorSafe malware that tried to trick people into believing they had a fault on the computer that needs them to purchase a fix. The ad used a server-side setting and targetted only those outside the US, to prevent LiveJournal's own checks from noticing it. LiveJournal has apologized for the ad and slow response."

Per i neofiti il Malware è un qualsiasi software creato con il solo scopo di creare danni più o meno estesi al computer . Bizzarro come un pop-up pubblicitario su un sito alquanto discutibile di fantomatici Bloggers come il suddetto LiveJournal possa "distruggere" un pc. Scuse accettate?
