The Playground

I found out first-hand yesterday how clever the latest Firefox browser is when it comes to keeping us safe online. I'm a member of lots of forums and got a personal message for another member with a link to something I might find useful. Trusting soul that I am, I followed the link, and was greeted with Firefox's anti-malware warning.

Firefox 3 protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, you'll receive a full-sized browser message as a warning. A continuously updated list of attack-sites tells us when to stop you from browsing, so there's nothing for you to update or maintain.
