yeah shouldnt we also take those links down since that may cause more infection?

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Take what links down? The links from the message on startup?

[kpac]

Yes take them down!

The first link has a RED Site Advisor rating, and the second one has a YELLOW rating.

1. http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/registrycleanerxp.com?ref=safe....

2. http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/registrycleaner.com?ref=safe&client...

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Affirmative.

I've encrypted them. Testing out my new Firefox add-on.

In the future please just Munge any live links. Sometimes I need to know what the site is.

Munge = Make unclickable. If someone is so determined to get infected that they fix the link so they can go to the site thats their fault. If it's Munged then it should be an indicator that something is wrong with the link.
