AARON BANKS

 

Please DON'T AGREE to ANY software downloads OR "PLUGINS" that you may be offered on the above site. The material on Aaron Bank's site is rated for children to view, but the site itself is currently hosted on a free web hosting service and some of their commercial advertisements appear to be browser plugins that you need to view the site.   Sometimes they even claim to have detected a virus or spyware or adware on your computer and offer you a free download that will scan your computer for you (which will very likely infect you with spyware and adware!). These programs and plugins are almost never what they pretend to be, they are a particularly unpleasant new form of software that pretends that you must install it to be able to view the site you are trying to get to or suggests that it is a required browser plugin then when you do install the software it makes alterations to your browser that you may find difficult to remove or restore to normal and some of this software is capable of installing remote diallers to premium high-cost telephone numbers that your computer could dial up instead of your regular internet connection without you knowing (see image below).   This software can also place links to adult sites in your browser, or anything else the software's owners want to link to once you've agreed to install their software.



I don't want to put you off Aaron's site - he's worked hard on it, but I feel that since children view this site it is only fair to warn everyone.   The truth is you need to watch out for this kind of software everywhere you go on the net just as part of general good surfing practice, it's not something you'll only find on poor old Aaron's site.

The images below come from my webspace and are completely safe.
