No I think this can be considered an attact since someone could make a link in a webpage or a autoredirect to something like
code:
<a href="file://path/to/path/to/path/to/path/to///////path/to//////">Free WLM Invites</a>
Something like that and the person would click it just to have the browser crash. I dont see how this could be a DoS attact but surely a anyoying prank

No that is not a DoS attack.

DoS is Denial Of Service, this does nothing of the sort. Yes it may deny you of using IE but IE is not a service and it is not denying a whole group of people of using it. It is merely a bug which can be exploited to crash IE.

http://internet-explorer.softonic.com/ie/48797

Just click descargar, then descargar once again the one in the GREEN.


I think this is warez since your are not posting a microsoft/windows link here, someone wanna clear this up?

No it does not look like a warez site, just a site like www.downloads.com
