| A fascinating, interesting and very informative article. And kudos to the author for taking the time to investigate and present it in such a detailed manner.
However, once again I'd like to point out that the bad guys rely on the users initial reaction to seeing the scary pop-up with those dire warnings. If you do not click on anything at all, but rather simply pull out the power cord from the back of your modem, you will most likely avoid the disasters which have befallen those who have tried to "click" their way out.
Your computer cannot download anything if it is not connected to the internet. When you find yourself being presented with ANY suspicious pop-up, the best thing to do is not panic, remain calm, take your hands away from the mouse & keyboard, and simply disconnect your modem.
It's just like hanging up the phone on a telemarketer or nuisance phone call.
