Hotmail, now with free ad-ware!

[cellfish]

I just today logged onto my seldom-used Hotmail account (I barely ever use it, except to send myself some stuff when I'm going places) and I noticed a new download available.

As soon as I logged on, my favorite browser (Chimera) gave me the option to download a file called ADSAdClient31.dll onto my desktop. I thought it was a banner but it ended up that it was just Hotmail itself (I relogged on).

Boy am I glad I moved away from the PC when I did. Looks like Hotmail users are in for loads of popup fun.

Good thing I
1) Don't have a HotMail account, and
2) Don't use my dad's PC that much!

Heh, I didn't see anything on this school Dell..

Ricky - that's because IE on a PC would not ask you opinion, just install without asking.

Oh yeah haha scruffy that's true!

Good old Install-On-Demand fun for all it seems.
