Is it harmless enough to click "Yes, I really do want you to fuck off,"
or should I panic and close the entire browser/email program with CTRL-Q
and never return?
Never click anything on such a site. They may have reprogrammed the
"kill' button to give permission to download an EXE trojan.
Yes, but downloading an .exe file isn't going to cause any harm. RUNNING
the program will.
Some people have naively enabled 'save and run' features in their OS.
In responding to inquires like the OP's I presume the worst and hope for the
best.
So, no harm in clicking the button, SM won't allow
running the file, only saving it.
Ed, I know you only mean to clarify, but do you really want to tell people that? It
sounds as though you are saying 'clicks don't kill people...'
