the script gets executed, and the computer is taken over.

Client Side script cannot take over a machine, since it cannot access the local filesystem, or anything local, much like Java Applets.

It's not something like JavaScript, its some form of code, in a file, that is executed by the idiotic user and takes over/keyloggs the computer.

It get's downloaded automatically, then the stupid end-user executes it by clicking the link.

Sorry if I'm bumping a dead thread, I haven't been on in over 2 months... :P

a downloaded script STILL cannot access the local filesystem.

    I have yet to try the final release of Chrome. I was really excited when the beta launched, and I used it for a few days.

    The browser itself was pretty good. I'm just too attached to Firefox I guess. There are some Firefox extensions I've become fond of, such as Linkification and Foxmarks. Don't think I could live without Foxmarks.
