Hey,

I'm David Hobbs an undergraduate at the University of York, at the
moment I'm trying to write a dissertation for my final year on
Nintendo and the videogame industry.
So if anyone has a spare few minuets to fill out an online
questionnaire it would help me out a lot.

Just follow the link
http://www.freewebs.com/davidhobbs/homepage1.html

All results will be used for academic research and NOT used for any
other purpose

Thank you very much

You need to edit your survey dude. There are mistakes.

Good call MB! I was going to say, the questions are poorly worded, poorly
laid out, and not very thought provoking....

Probably a spyware or spam trap.

details

You can get infected simply by visiting a site. No need for email.

Only if you allow websites to automatically install stuff, in which case
you'd deserve whatever happened.

That's not true, you can get infected with being asked to install/DL anything.

Seriously though, after researching a bit, it appears that you're right.
But from what I can tell, it's an IE thing.

Use Firefox (or another non-IE broswer) then, less risk.

I hate the way IE will let you _run_ exe files from remote locations,
every other browser I know forces you to download them, and execute them
manually.
