Problems with mispelling Google

If you needed even more reasons why NOT to use Internet Explorer .. there you go. Of course, you should NOT try this at home.

So get Firefox now .. and try not to misspell Google.

Just how dangerous can it be to misspell Google? You have no idea :wall:

Great

That's potentially a great way to kill someone's PC who you don't particularly like

Problems with Windows/IE

Not so much a problem with squatters on common mis-spellings of popular URL's but a brilliant demonstration of the hazards of using Windows/IE without a lot of protection patching and care. I tried this with OSX/Firefox and got nothing, thus reminding me of why i have a pile of bits that I have been meaning to turn into a PC for over a year in the corner of a room and no particular enthusiasm for doing it. Perhaps this demonstration could be rounded out by showing what outlook Express did next.
