Religious sites 'riskier than porn for viruses'

Post by amused » Sun May 06, 2012 3:31 am

Web wanderers are more likely to get a computer virus by visiting a religious website than by peering at porn, according to a study released on Tuesday.

As can be atheist sites. Visited one a couple of weeks ago now which had been 'attacked' no doubt by fundies.

Yeah, the real miracle of Lourdes is how people don't come back from there with all manners of noxious ailments...

Oh, you meant internet religious sites... sorry.

Just proof that the first thing to do when (or even just before if possible) you connect your computer to the internet is get a good antivirus and firewall set.
