What happened to CNN? Edit: It was spyware
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 03:03 PM by PinkTiger
The site looks strange; no photos, just large yellow boxes saying "click here now."
What gives, or is it just me???

It was spyware. I had downloaded Yahoo's spyware and it was blocking CNN. What was that about???? Why just CNN? I was able to get NYTimes OK.
What is CNN doing???

5. I see nothing wrong with the site.
Maybe you have spy-wares.

6. What is even stranger is that you are the first to mention it
Shows how often anyone bothers going to that propaganda site.

8. This may help: Virus hooks onto CNN headlines
http://news.com.com/Virus%20hooks%20onto%20CNN%20headlines/2100-7349_3-5544157.html

A PC virus has started to spread through e-mail, luring potential victims by disguising itself as a headline newsletter from CNN, an antivirus company said Thursday.

E-mails laden with the virus, dubbed "Crowt.A" by Sophos, do not have a typical subject line and other characteristics, Sophos said. Instead, the virus sends out e-mail messages with subject lines, message content and attachment names drawn from the latest news headlines on CNN's Web site, which it gathers as it spreads. Very few Sophos customers have reported that they been affected by Crowt.A so far, the company said.
