Note to Self…

…When Google searching for certain phrase returns a very unlikely result of the form:

www.DodgySoundingURL.nl/[your-exact-search-string]

Don’t click it, lest you find yourself forced to spend your Saturday reinstalling Windows.

Windows makes me homicidal.

One hopes you are using Firefox or a similarly non-MS browser. If Firefox is your thing, try installing the NoScript add-on : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722

I enjoy reading your blog, and would rather you didn’t have to waste time doing re-installations. *Nobody* deserves that, anyhow.

Thanks for the tip, and the nice words, Ryno. That NoScript seems alright.

Yes, I am using Firefox, I’m trying to get as Windows-less as possible. I was just decidedly unsavvy in not recognising a dodgy URL when I saw it. The curious thing was though, as soon as I clicked the URL, I knew I’d made a mistake.
