WARNING! Fox News.com Serving up Scareware
I've seen some reports break today the foxnews.com has been compromised and visitors to that site could receive "a forced download" via a banner ad. Vistors may due nothing more than visit the site to be infected.
Here's how it works

Here's how it works
- A person visits foxnews
- A banner pops up displaying an ad
- within that ad is a program that is automatically downloaded to your pc
- within moments the program runs and a pop-up appears saying that your system is showing signs of malware and viruses
- Encourages you to give a credit card number to purchase an anti-virus program
