i have found many good things on astalavista.com, mostly good tutorials, thats all i get from there, its a good site,
they do advertise too much for their books, "how to hack windoze", and they want you to sign on and pay money to be a member of astalavista.net,
otherwise they have alot of good tutorials, go check them out
They have a lot more there! Cracks, softwares and ofcourse the pop-ups and banner (of interest to some)!!:p
i'd back it up too, they do have very good tutorials but it is a bitch, them wanting you to sign up and all. but hey, i ain't signing up and paying money, FRRREEEELLOOOOOAADDDEERRR :)
a bit warezish, but still a damn nice(and large too) site!
I have visited Astalavista for years and it still is great but all the pop ups, offering to becoming a member etc.
It's like they need cash quick.
Just install a popupkiller like the one in tweakXP.. or disable java/javascript
I went to their site while at my college, and I clicked on a link that made my desktop all of the sudden have a pornographic background, and made my home page on IE some porn site. The schools virus scanner came up and said there was a virus on an html file saved in temporary internet files. I deleted it and there were no other problems. Has anyone heard of this before? I downloaded nothing, and I ran no programs that werent already there.
Yea Preacher, I have, got that once I beleive, never happened again (just keep updating your AV like every week). It's not a dangerious virus, unless the user is malacious, but usually he or she just wants some quick money and hopes to God that you accidentially click on a banner or add. Other then that it's fine.
As far as I know, initially, this site was designed to capture the popularity of the "similar named site" from .box.sk
I like Astalavista.com too as well as Astalavista.box.sk. Good tutorials and misc. materials available. Although, the damn pop-ups is really annoying.
It's recommended to use a pop-up-stopper and to disable JavaScript in your browser, when visting those sites. :)Quote:
