Well duh! No shit?

I'm still not clicking on what looks suspiciously like a spam or trojan
post.

If you're genuine then maybe don't be so ****ing lazy and say what it is
you're talking about in your post.

You are limited by your OS and browser. Do you dare click on the following?

last Friday, in response to the latest security exploit

<http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,63994,00.html> involving
Microsoft products, the usually staid U.S. government's Computer
Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, published a warning
<http://networks.org/?src=cert:713878> strongly suggesting that users of
Microsoft's Internet Explorer should switch to another Web browser, due
to "significant vulnerabilities" in technologies included in IE.

Downloads of Mozilla and Firefox -- an advanced version of Mozilla --

spiked the day CERT's warning was released, and demand has continued to
grow. According to Chris Hofmann, engineering director at the Mozilla
Foundation, formed last July to promote the development, distribution
and adoption of Mozilla Web applications, downloads of the browsers hit
an all-time high on Thursday, from the usual 100,000 or so downloads on
a normal day to more than 200,000.
Hofmann said the Mozilla team wasn't surprised when CERT issued its warning.

"Mozilla and Firefox downloads have increased steadily since last

fall, with the Firefox user base doubling every few months, as more
people seem to have reached their threshold level of frustration dealing
with problems with IE and Windows, and have found the Mozilla software a
good solution to solving those problems," said Hofmann. "CERT's
recommendation is just a reflection of the trend we have seen for quite
some time." Security experts said Mozilla's lack of ActiveX support
makes the browser more secure than IE. ActiveX was intended to allow
websites to add multimedia and interactive features, but has lately been
used to slide spyware onto PCs without the user's knowledge or explicit
consent.
Established in September 2003, US-CERT is a partnership between the

Department of Homeland Security and the public and private sectors.
Established to protect the nation's Internet infrastructure, US-CERT
coordinates defense against and responses to cyber attacks across the
nation.

That's not the point.

The point is that you posted with an extremely generic
subject, and provided zero information in the body of
the post about what people would see when they clicked
on the link.

(My objection to tinyurls is that they're only valid for
a limited time, which means that when I dig a link out
of the USENET articles after that link expires, it does
me zero good.)

If you don't like being flamed about using tinyurls, do
your readers a service and post both the tinyurl and the
original URL.

You guys are making me laugh over here. That's no virus/hack or linking

Can a good browser and os protect against a disturbing jpg that is

Most browsers have a little "X" in the right hand top corner. If
that isn't enough you could turn off the monitor. If your life
is sheltered enough that you haven't yet been desensitized to
images then I envy you.
