Another Reason to Avoid Typos

Here's another good reason to watch out for those typos. On the Internet bad things can happen if you make just one little typo. News.com reports that if you mistakingly type Googkle.com instead of Google.com in your browser's address bar you will be taken to a website that will pummel your PC with all kinds of Trojan Horse viruses and spyware. News.com reports that security software firm F-Secure is strongly advising people not to visit the Googkle site. Note: Please don't try the typo site to see if we're right. It really will try to download viruses and spyware on to your computer. Now, don't say we didn't warn you.
