And did you all read that techcrunch artical? http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/01/how-to-spam-facebook-like-a-pro-an-insiders-confession/ Both of these are great articals. Another type of advertising scam hit close to home yesterday when I grabbed my mom's computer from her at work. What was from most likelly a download install since I saw this exe on the desktop, ends up displaying huge amounts of warnings about infection. Windows pop up messages from "Security Tool" saying I have viruses and my information is being transmitted over the interwebs. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-security-tool Good thing booting into safemode allowed full scanning, then on to removal. But a real pain, and the whole point is to generate revenue. That's it. So, since Capitalism Ain't No Joke... I might as well drop website development and start a geek squad, because there is still money to be made in cleaning up peoples computers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
