has a little 'javascript' that displays a scrolling message in the 'status bar' of the browser, saying (in this case) "Welcome to Citroenet". Scary, isn't it!
Most people don't notice such messages - some browsers don't even have a 'status bar', and many people disable 'javascript' anyway - so I don't know why web site designers bother to include such fripperies; they certainly aren't any sort of 'threat', not even to Windows.
Ye gods, all this because of a tiddly little message. If you had explained the problem at the start then you wouldn't have come across as an arrogant wotsit and have to start abusing others. Sheesh.
Mask? I think that if someone was trying to sneak a 'nasty' onto your system from a website, you would not notice anything at all until some time afterwards - if then.
If you want to be paranoid about your computer's vulnerabilities, then you should not use Internet Explorer or Outlook Express for anything, you should install and keep up-to-date all the patches and security updates and so on for your operating system and all your programs (or delete the programs you aren't using), and you should install and keep up-to-date whatever 'anti-adware', 'anti-spyware', and 'anti-virus' applications take your fancy, along with a 'firewall' - preferably a 'hardware firewall' built into a 'router' between your computer and the internet. Or simply not use Windows at all for anything involving the internet.
