Anyone who followed a link or googled the Warriors for Innocence site, do a scan on your computer now. In all likelihood, you now have AdWare. That's why the site was so fucking slow.

No, really, go run AVG or AdAware now. I have every Firefox plugin and freeware active scanner and even I got hit.

GO RUN A SCAN!

Thanks for posting about this. I'm scanning as we speak, um, type. I've already had to reinstall windows once on my laptop due to some fuckupedness, and don't want to have to do it again.

*starts up Avast virus scan*

I've heard reports of people not getting hit due to firewalls, so you might have escaped with only 5 to 10 hits.

Me, I'm up to 120.

252 critical objects!!!! God damnit!

Thanks for the heads up.

Who the frig are these WFI people? Are they even for real?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Not really.

I could link you, but to put it simply: Scary Lady decided to start an anti-pedo site "to take the fight to them". They are not officially recognized and have no professional training (any volunteer can be briefed and trained by law enforcement to aid the anti-pedo cause).

WFI is not ones of the sanctioned organizations. There is no real official info on their site (no statement, Q&A, explanation of their mission or who they are targeting). So, no. They should not be taken as a serious community, though we should consider them a threat because they apparently do not differentiate between fiction and reality. (y halo dare, thoughtcrimes!)


I really need to stop following this story. It's batshit and make me angry.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Thanks for the heads up.

WTF? That really says a lot about the quality and professionalism of their "campaign", doesn't it. I mean, I run linux so I don't really get Ad- or SpyWare problems myself, but that is disgusting. And isn't that kind of thing illegal??
