It takes some very buggy Web browser and/or kernel to enable pages to have
such a catastrophic effect, Imagine yourself a site whose address is
reboot.com, which does precisely what it says on the tin (address bar). At
the moment (*glances over to ensure you use a Mac*), there are Web sites
that can be aptly address install-some-stuff-that-will-screw-my-os.com.
These will be worse than a reboot because they don't go away. All you need
to do is use search engines or follow 'untrusted' links...
Best wishes,
Roy
