Kurt,

I posted this in the "Bruce Chambers" thread, but I think it got missed in
all the posts there.

Anyway, I went to your Web page last night, and my AV detection warned me
about a Trojan called DEVIL[1].HTM when I clicked on the link for"eXPerience
the Internet Explorer browser flaw for yourself."

Also, when I do a VirusScan, it detects a virus called
"exploit-URLSpoof.gen."

I don't think you would deliberately put a virus in your site. Is this more
of your sense of humor shining through? :>

Kurt, just had an example of how easy it was to exploit Internet Explorer
with a redirection technique that would send you to a different page than
what you thought you were gonna get. For instance someone could create a
site that looks just like your bank website, then send you an email saying
we need you to update your info, click this link and enter your info in. The
unsuspecting person clicks the link and it takes them to my website, but the
site looks just like their bank website and even shows the address of the
site in the address bar as www.yourbanksitename.com. So then the person
thinks they are on the real bank site, because it looks like it and the
address says so, and then they enter their info and you steal it. This
exploit was very well known, but ms took like six months or more to fix it.
Meanwhile many people were getting credit card numbers, and identities
stolen.
Since then ms has patched it and the av programs now recognize the exploit.
