    I visited this link (God only knows why), and I was notified a few
    second later that Norton Anti-virus had found and removed a virus
    (Bloodhound.Exploit.21).

    Isn't this a helpdesk forum? Why are there so many non-related posts
    allowed here?

    Howard composed the following ...
    Nope, it's not a forum.
    How would you suggest they be stopped?

    This is not a "helpdesk." It is not a forum. It is an unmoderated
    newsgroup having no charter or specific topic. No one here (tinh)
    can or should compel others to adopt a static dynamic constructed
    from your or anyone else's erroneous assumptions. Jesus H. Christ.

    Again, sorry, but what is the point of it being labeled
    "24hoursupport.helpdesk" -- this isn't me being snide; it's just a
    question, honest.

    On 29 Dec 2004, Howard scribbled in 24hoursupport.helpdesk:

    snip
    There is no point. Really. This group apparently was an ISP's private
    group which propagated into Usenet in general once upon a time, or so
    one story has it. There is no charter or FAQ for the group, so pretty
    much anything goes (except SPAM).

    A good way to visit a suspicious/spammed web site is with the text
    only browsers lynx and links. (links is fancier and knows how to do
    frames)

    Neither one knows Javascript or pop-up windows. (e.g. with IE, spammed
    site uses Javascript to open 25 pay-per-click porno links and crashes
    your computer)

    Sometimes, you need a dumb interpreter - like when you get a .doc file
    from who the hell knows, you probably want to open it with
    write/wordpad and not with MSWord and get a macro virus.
