One more reason to use my driver

MosChip is now listed as a malicious site by Google:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.moschip.com/mcs7703.php&hl=en
In case the link breaks, it says:

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 204 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-02-22, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-02-21.

Malicious software includes 9 exploit(s), 1 scripting exploit(s), 1 trojan(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 45 new processes on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including sagardia.com/.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS6130 (ADN).

I don't think the site honestly has bad intent, they just seem to not be very careful. So I'll go with that they were hacked. I tried to download some PDF from a different site (that probably linked to MosChip) and it tried to download an exe instead. I wonder how effective viruses are under WINE?
