The "IMPORTANT ANTIVIRUS INFORMATION" post has a URL that leads to a malicious, infective website

[Phil Weldon]

The url leads to a website that use the .CHM exploit. If you click on this
URL, your system WILL be infected unless you have the latest Microsoft
security patches (as of April 13, 2004) or have an antivirus program with
definitions updated since that time. The two just prior posts of the same
type have the same URL.

Thanks, Phil! I thought that post looked more than a little "strange."

You seem to have assumed that everyone runs Windows.

I don't expect that a BSD, Linux, or Mac machine would be affected.

Thanks for the detective work though.
