So I opened, I believe it was ViralNova.com and another tab opened up (popups disabled, btw). I look down and see a file was downloaded. The tab seemed legit with Flash Player. But I thought to myself, Adobe would never open a link and download a file without my consent. I clicked on the Red and White "Flash" icon and it downloaded the file again, which was interesting. I tried clicking on the links at the bottom but none of them opened up. Beware people. Don't open these files. They're filled with all kinds of junk for hackers to control your computer, steal important data or fill it with all kinds of malware.

Here is the screenshot that I took of the site. Btw it does not say adobe.flash.com (or whatever it is).
