Well Highlight

Yes, these fake files and their "jacking" commands are just a nuisance now but they are "proof of concept", i.e. it can be done. This also means that once your browser is no longer in your control, no matter how briefly, something (anything) can also be loaded onto your PC, like replacing your browsers home page (which has happened to me at work - the tech boys had to reformat my HD) or planting a virus/malware on your computer.

All I am saying is that any successful attack on your PC is a cause for concern.
