American Idol fans be careful. I tried voting by 'Googling' "American idol" and opening the fist listing that came up. It had a survey to pick your favorite performance from last night, I checked a box, a virus alert popped up all over, saying it affected my hard drive. I immediately did a computer scan with 'Avira' and no viruses were found, however if I had clicked on the URL to clean up my hard-drive that the website recommended I am 99% positive my computer would had had major problems.
Has anyone else heard of this or encountered it themselves?
Imagine if you were a cybercrook, to inflect the American Idol website with over 30 million visits a week would sure have it's numbers working for you.
If you vote, vote by phone, safer! Ironically I have only voted once in my life for an idol contestant, no more...
American Idol may well turn into a American pandemic Virus!
