Good point.

"And even if it was, following a link won't automatically download anything unless you have all security features on your computer turned off"
False, it is quite easy to force downloads.

[quote=Pavchka]I don't actually think people really believe every link's a keylogger. It's a really old troll that makes use of people's paranoia and ignorance about the Net.

It's also really lame. </3[/quote]

Actually, you would be surprised how easy it is to pick up malware simply from clicking a link...Dosent take disabling security at all.

So, in short...Using logic when it comes to links on the internet is a good idea. It pays to be cautious, yet at the same time assuming every link is a keylogger is just silly.

Really? It can get worse than calling every link a keylogger? I've seen basilers call imgur links keyloggers, I don't even understand how much has to go wrong inside your head to be that dumb

Why so mad, especially on something that's old.

Keylogger!
