that "what age does this woman look" thread

[Anonymous]

I'm an idiot. I clicked the link. Do you know if I'm just dumb, or if I'm dumb and now have an infected computer now?

I don't know how you'd know. You just seem smart and computer savvy. Unlike, ugh, me.

I think the link was just an image hosting site (just not one of the really popular ones like tinypic)

I don't think you are dumb and more than likely, your computer is not infected. I can't say for sure because I didn't click on the link myself. I just deleted the thread after it was reported. It is for reasons like this that we don't allow "link-only" posts.

Because you have a Macintosh, the chances of getting inflected with malware are very slim. However, if you downloaded something from the website and let it install, that would be a problem. Short of that, you probably shouldn't worry. I recommend upgrading your Mac to Mavericks. It's a free upgrade and will offer additional security protection.

Other than just as a juvenile prank, why would someone post that link?

What was the link? I was curious, but did not click!
