Javascript can download anything. Do a web search for the exploits. A Malay
internet cafe was infested with a trojan from a porn site, via javascript. One
French netcafe was mass-kicked last night because they also got a irc-
capable worm from the web. I've lost a harddrive from a javascript page, and
had to reinstall the OS before. I don't wanna repost it all again, but as long
as you allow people to download things onto your computer, supposedly for
your browsing enjoyment or to make fancier pages, you leave yourself open
to them downloading bad things too. One guy online the other day admitted
he got his irc bots by appending trojans to free web downloads.
