I'm calm. I only did all caps because he didn't answer my question but went further on his threadnapping career.

WY U NOT HELP MI WIT MAKROSOFT WORD

[Maxor127]

If I needed help, I would've asked for help. Jeez, I check this thread a week later and see a spaz attack. Do your lamaze and breathe. Sorry for trying to share a possible connection with emails getting hijacked and all of these game site hacks that have been going on lately.

It was off topic, and anyone could have read it as a plea for help, I also did.

Nice Engrish words! I am certainly learning a lot from them! Thank you so much!

Hmmm... I wonder if you know (Bill) Gates of Hell... Or is Bill Gates in Hell?

Windows Vista... Hasta la Vista, baby

I do not read the whole thread, but let me get this right: replacementdocs is infected with malware? 'Cause I visited the site a few times in the last several weeks and do not notice anything unusual. Would the downloaded documents be infected with virus or anything?

I am asking this because I did download a few manuals from the site lately. I do not care much about the site malware itself since I am browsing with Linux. However I do care about the downloaded manuals since now and then I still boot up to Windows to play games (the ones not yet playable in Linux with wine) and chances are I do open those downloaded manuals under Windows. In Windows I use Avira, and so far it does not detect anything on those manuals.

The manuals themselves are not infected.

It was a cross-site drive-by-download attack, the malware trying to download themselves were PDFs, but different from the manuals. Depending on your browser preferences the malicious PDFs could succeed in being downloaded without user consent, or could prompt a dialog box... There was probably a social engineering component, that a user might be less suspicious of an unsolicited PDF download if it was at replacementdocs.com, but it probably relied on most browsers being configured to open PDFs right away without user interaction with the Acrobat plugin. Also probably they targeted only Acrobar Reader for Windows only (I'm speculating here).

are you on drugs?

My Firefox is configured to open PDF right away with Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin. So far I do not see any PDF downloaded other than those I really choose to download. No dialog box prompt either.

Anyway, at least it is good to know that the manual themselves are not infected.
