They hacked the site itself, so when you clicked the url it was downloading an Active X or Javascript that added a virus to your system. (Or some variant of this.Keyloggers, or other crap.) Internet Explorer users are usually hit by this kind of attack. The average user doesn't know how to prevent this from happening. There is also the risk of the program being smart enough to maneuver around any anti-virus software the user is running as well. One of the things that I always dreaded when I did tech support was summer vacation, because as soon as there was a break a new virus would appear. Mainly from bored hackers that are out of school.

My own moment-of-tears with the written word came when I first read Katherine Kurtz's Camber the Heretic, a scene when a group of psi-gifted humanoids where being massacred by humans. One of the humanoids (Deryni, their race was called), Rhys, a doctor with the power to heal, was trying to escape when he saw injured humans nearby. Being a doctor, he followed the Hippocratic and stopped to begin healing the person. As he was doing so, he was hit from behind, a blow that stoved in his head, destroying the part of his brain that enabled him to heal. His wife Evaine learned this as she went into his mind, trying to access his power to heal him. All the while, he was still conscious, feeling himself die, saying his goodbyes to his friends telepathically. .. marked the first and only time I've ever thrown a book.

That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada. They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures. The scientific paper is published in a book - Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress. In books, films, video games and folklore, zombies are undead creatures, able to turn the living into other zombies with a bite. But there is a serious side to the work. In some respects, a zombie plague resembles a lethal, rapidly spreading infection. The researchers say the exercise could help scientists model the spread of unfamiliar diseases through human populations. My understanding of zombie biology is that if you manage to decapitate a zombie then it's dead forever Professor Neil Ferguson In their study, the researchers from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University (also in Ottawa) posed a question: If there was to be a battle between zombies and the living, who would win? Professor Robert Smith? (the question mark is part of his surname and not a typographical mistake) and colleagues wrote: We model a zombie attack using biological assumptions based on popular zombie movies. We introduce a basic model for zombie infection and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions. FROM THE TODAY PROGRAMME More from Today programme To give the living a fighting chance, the researchers chose classic slow-moving zombies as our opponents rather than the nimble, intelligent creatures portrayed in some recent films. While we are trying to be as broad as possible in modelling zombies - especially as there are many variables - we have decided not to consider these individuals, the researchers said. Back for good? Even so, their analysis revealed that a strategy of capturing or curing the zombies would only put off the inevitable. In their scientific paper, the authors conclude that humanity's only hope is to hit them [the undead] hard and hit them often.
