If you happen to click the link at the bottom of the page "HOME PAGE OF applet-magic" like I did, you get one of the fake virus web sites. Just do Ctrl-Alt-Del (on Windows), select Task Manager, sort on Name if you have to, right click on Google Chrome (or whatever your web browser is), and choose End Task. Or just cold start your computer.
But hey lets keep web sites with links like that off Hacker News, what do you say?

- userbinator 2y agoThat page did absolutely nothing with JS off; just shows a blank page. Now I know it's not worth turning JS on for either, like the majority of the stuff I come across.
- numpad0 2y agoThe title is somewhat intriguing but the content is extremely light, and on top contains this: <!-- ZoneLabs Privacy Insertion --> <script language='javascript' src='http://127.0.0.1:1026/js.cgi?pcaw&r=14945'></script>
