Chris,
Please remove the link it is inappropriate.

I agree, it is dodgy following such links, but thats not the way to
educate people.

I suggest you read Eyo's FAQ on newsgroups. This isn't a website, nor do
Eyo or any other "moderator" control the content here. Finally, once a
post is made to usenet, it's impossible to retract.

There are a lot worse things I could have linked too, phishing scams,
browser hacks, popup hell, system crashing pages etc. Hopefully a single
"inappropriate" image will make people think twice before blinding
clicking on a link to an unknown location next time.

Yes, I was forgetting that this particular forum is a window into
usenet, as i frequent a lot of forums.

If people want to improve their internet security easily, try using the
firefox web browser instead of internet explorer. it is free and
available at www.getfirefox.com

cheers
