Gorilla Worm
Yesterday evening I searched for the lyrics to that Gorillaz song Feel Good, Inc. I’ve never heard the song, and heard some people talking about it. So I listened to the sample on iTunes and then looked up the lyrics. I put the name of the band the name of the song and then the word ‘lyrics’. A site came up, and it showed me the lyrics. I browsed them, then closed the window.
And it tried to put a virus on my computer! Punk website! It was some kind of worm… I don’t remember the exact name. I had my antivirus software running, so it stopped it right on the spot. But still.
Who would have thought that a site as simple as a lyric website would put viruses on people’s computers. That’s how so many people get infected, though.
Anyhow… moral of the story: Keep your antivirus software up to date!

Uh-oh.. One of my students was asking if I’d heard the gorillaz and so I looked up the lyrics as well. I googled it and found some site and it wanted me to run some program and of course I said no, but who knows what it has done… I have a pretty old and crappy computer at work and our tech lady barely has time to get around to everyone to keep our software updated so I probably have a virus on my computer now. Oh well. Thanks for the warning.
Stupid lyric sites…small world about the gorillaz.
Lyrics sites are VERY bad about that.
