Exclamation Warning! Very Important Note On Umpc Site!!!

DO NOT GO TO UMPC SITE!!!!!

some one has spammed the comments section. if you click on the "comments" link, you will be redirected to a page where you get a js confirm() diag. no matter what you do at this point, you MUST unplug your network cable/adapter. no matter what you do at this prompt, you will be redirected to a malware site, where it will force a silent download. then you can kiss your windows installation bye bye.

i read an artical about this on wikipedia a bit back which described the confirm message. as soon as i saw it, i turned off, and unplugged my wifi card (i am on my tablet, i dont use the internal card due to a lack of afterburner support) then clicked out of the message. i was immediately redirected to the site where the silent download would occur, but since my net ard was unplugged, i just got a firefox error.

If that did happen, couldn't you just hit control q and it would quit when the java script comes up? On firefox, i have an app called noscript, and it blocks any script that looks harmful.
