WARNING ABOUT SIMS CHEATS SITE

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

Hello Everyone:
Just wanted to warn everyone about
http://www.cheatgenius.co.uk/cheat [...] heats.html

Don't go there unless you want a number of REALLY REALLY hard to remove
spyware programs downloaded to your computer without your permission. The
site is the sleaziest of the sleaze and the cheats are not EVEN worth it!

OMG, I didn't even know I had Remote Desktop enabled on here till you
mentioned it. I just unchecked it. That is scary. But I was only port
scanned by the one jerk as far as I can tell. And now that I have the newer
protection, no one has scanned me since.

I've been trying to switch to Firefox as a browser, but I'm still not that
crazy about it. I do like the skins for it, though. And it does seem
alittle safer.
