Has spam finally migrated to blogs? I was very confused once to find that I received spam in the form of a text message on a work phone, and now I'm even more bewildered. Do people just sit around thinking of new ways to annoy other people?
I got a comment on this post. Lucia received a similar comment on her post, so did Loud, and so did this Wisconsin Roaming post.
But the confusing thing - what exactly are they trying to get? If you go to one of the pages it's some page written in foreign language, and nothing that my McAfee yelled about. What's up with that?
Tilting at windmills has never been this fun.
Never give up
Because if you do, you'll miss moments like these.

odd thing about those links... they've all been removed from blogger now. hmm...
Oh for the love of.. its called a drive-by trojan. All you need to do is visit the page, and through the web browser it executes arbitrary code meant to exploit vulnerabilities.
Best defense? Don't click on it. Next best defense? Don't use IE and make sure to download Windows patches from Windows Update often.
Aren't you the coder, and I'm the general IT stuff? You're losing your touch :-P
Either way, usually its not going to raise alarms in your anti-virus because of how it attacks. But update your virus definitions, run a full scan overnight, download Spybot Search & Destroy, and run that too. You'd be amazed at what it finds sometimes.
And if you ever get the incling to click, do it in Firefox, its less likely to end it evil stuff (like someone nabbing your login for a social networking site and posting yet more spam as comments on other people's pages [like that's ever happened, pshaw!]).
