Terrorist Supporters when downloading?

So umm, something interesting.

While updating one of my ROM clients on one of my computers, I saw that my Peerblock was blocking ROM from updating. Curious, i went to find out why. It was blocking 'www.aljezeera.net'.

Why is ROM using a media station who supports terrorism?

NOTE: This is not to be flamed, just wondering if anyone knows why.

RoM accesses RuneWaker servers, Gameforge servers & Frogster servers. If it's accessing anything else, there may be something else lurking on your computer and I'd hate to think what that is - virus, trojan, rootkit?

yeah my guess would be a Trojan of some sort.
The other day i got this Virus-pop up that Locked my computer, posed a screen saying it was the FBI and was pretty much holding my computer hostage wanting to Extort money from me to unlock it.



Luckily I knew how to counter it and fixed/cleansed my computer of this garbage. All the advice i can suggest is having full knowledge of your computers contents is really important. If you have people that use your computer as well, it'd be nice to keep tabs on where they go exactly and for how long/etc. I looked into anything reguarding Al jazeera but found nothing. It's gotta be something else
