ps: it seems some virus can spread via Java, should I re-install windows even though I didn't find any virus using free-anti-virus software?

It's funny how many people buying bitcoins completely neglect digital signature for their network traffic.  ::)

It's not about digital certificates. Simply checking the URL (domain) is enough. In age where people are dumbed down by Google Chrome and hiding all technical details in their browsers there is no sourprise that people with single digit IQ fall for such phishing tricks.

I just realized how paranoid I am. I'm curious to know if these sites even look like the original or at which point I would have noticed, but I don't dare to select the url as maybe my smart browser pre-fetches urls I select, collecting all contained drive-by infections before I even see what I wanted to see. Maybe some reckless hero here has the ballz to take a screenshot  ;D

CURL takes care about sites to look them really authentic.

P.S. You must check the digital signatures to not fall for NSA one. Unless they have copy of MtGox original one.
