Re:Potential malware on Gizmodo site (Score 1)

The Apple repair place backed off on the malware claim after quite a bit of internal debate. The site does create havoc on my Mac. Apparently the page takes more than 1 GB to load. This seems a bit much for a simple web page. The site also connects with several of other sites creating a bunch of network traffic. Why I get automount processes that I did not have before the visit is a mystery as is why the site is able to make an eject button appear next to the network icon when no other site does this. Iâ(TM)m running Mac OS 10.4.11 on a 1.5 GHz Powerbook G4. It has 1 GB of Ram. The browser is Safari 3.1.1 . I had installed the latest Apple security patches the day before I visited the site.
