Friendster, not so friendly

Yes I do have a friendster account (XP), for ages and left to gather dust. Today I went to check my friend's new photos and decided to do a little clean ups on my own profile, ended up being greeted by "your computer is infested by spyware" pop ups under FireFox. Not to mention Im running Mac OSX...

Clicked cancel a few times and the bot gave me no choice but a "let us scan your computer for free" message and a single "ok" button, naturally I wouldn't mind taking an adventure into the dark side on my Mac but I just don't feel like it today. So force quit came into the rescue, heh.

Afterwards I went to upload a photo of myself onto my profile, and this time greeted by buggy coded upload page, followed by some nameless flash based ads everywhere I click... I was never so glad that I have installed Flashblock on my FireFox.

I hardly ever logs onto my friendster account and from today's experience, I don't think I will log onto it anytime soon.
