I tried it in VMWare too (SP1 just for fun) and it gave me some popups and gave a link to some survey. Strangely enough there's a timer that says a special offer is about to expire, but when it hits 0 the site just reloads. Cheap advertising tactic I guess...

Next I'm gonna see if archive.org has the old computer-killing version of the site...muahahaha.

Edit: Well, I tried it, and it still isn't much. Most of the time it would just link to SpyBouncer or some other bogus antispyware, or it would have an under construction page. It gave me a few more popups though, each time there would be this weird one with an IP address instead of a URL. Nothing particularly dangerous-looking, so they definitely over-exaggerated a little.

Ah, good ole Goggle.

I blocked it back a few years ago when I was working in a school, because students would often go there (accidentally or on purpose, I was never sure). Blocking that and a few ad sites stopped a lot of spyware and other nasties.

How does it remind you of Banjo Kazooie?

There's a guy in Banjo-Kazooie named Goggles. Anyway, back on topic...


Well, now I know to be extra careful while typing Google. I'd hate for all those viruses/spyware to get into my computer. I can't afford to lose my information.


The most I've seen on one computer was ~50 viruses/spyware, since he isn't the smartest person in the world (he thought the original Final Fantasy was for PlayStation and thinks Ocarina of Time was a bad game), has weird tastes, and most importantly, no anti-virus/spyware blocker.

It died.

That movie scares the hell out of me, it's like a PC horror film.

Indeed, a nerdy B-Movie. Attack Of The Spyware! Just when you thought it was safe to plug in your network cable...

Unpredictable. Watch your backs. Or not. Whichever. I want Metal Gear Solid 4 so badly.
