Holy Crappola, Batman! I'VE downloaded a couple things from there, from links posted in email groups. Nothing happened to my machine, BUT the apps didn't WORK, either! I quit going there a year or so ago. I'm sorry to hear you got smacked around by going there, Jafo!
I sure won't ever go there again, and I'm posting a warning in all my groups!

Funny thing you say this (not funny it happened but strange), cos this month my Bigpond usage has more than tripled, yet I do not reacall going anywhere suspect or doing anything different. I'm only 2 weeks into my 25gb monthly allowance, yet I'm sitting on 89% usage, whereas normally I don't get to that until the last couple of days, if ever.
I suspect something's up - someone hacking into my wi-fi or something - but Bigpong don't give a shit and will cut me back to 64k regardless if I step over by just a byte.
Guess that puts the carbosh on downloading all those hi-res Playboy centerfolds from 1953 through 2009, then. 
As for sites like this, the ones that propogate and perpetuate rips, warez and do harm to others PC's, there needs to be international laws/agreements that hunt these bastards down and permanently end their operations... or alternatively, a vigilante group that hunts them down, nukes all their equipment and summarily executes those responsible,
Sorry to hear of your PC/email woes, Paul.... you were trying to do the right thing and that sucks.

Yeah, that was my fist choice as well... just thought I had better do what's seen to be right in giving the authorities the chance to do nothing and fail before sending out the mercenaries.
It really annoys me that such pond scum can exist on the internet and get away with damaging peoples computers after they've spent so much time and money on them. As for claiming others work to be their own, well me thinks hanging them by the testicles off a cactus in the desert for the buzzards to pick their bones is a good start.

Better hope they never get a hold of your email if they see the warning.

Paul - I've a better way at dealing with these types of things. There is such a thing as proxy servers and if you use this as they do to browse and even proxy your sorted email accts... as such you can be as they are and deal with them on their level.
I have a firefox which supports such a thing and works very well for investigating any website. Along with a very well trained group of techs which run just what is needed at this one server for doing just that. Investigations.
Drop me a line if your interested and I'll get you what you need.

Ah...the joys of being 'throttled'....I'm currently limited to a 64k dl speed as in the past 2 weeks I apparently UPLOADED just over 5gig .... where 'normal' usage would have me at 100 meg or so.
I don't get 'reset' to normal until next friday...so I have a week to enjoy at snail's pace.
In the interim I'll export appropriate settings, etc and roll back to a previous Drive Image .... at a time before all this occurred.
The 'hacked' email account will be defunct as of May 31.... which should end it.... but I need to research the whats and hows of mule servers [or whatever they are called].
If anyone gets an email from [email protected] .... it won't be from me.
