    it has millions of downloads and uploads
    That scares me - a perfect place for badguys to launch new malware. Have you thoroughly scanned for malware? Just to be sure, I recommend purging the hard drives of clutter with Windows (XP or Vista) Disk Cleanup, ATF Cleaner or CCleaner. If using CCleaner, uncheck the option to install the Yahoo toolbar during installation. Before first use, go to Options > Settings > Advanced and ensure Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours is unchecked. Know your site credentials (user names and passwords) for sites you frequent before cleaning; you may have to login again at next visit.

    Download and install Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware (MBAM) and scan as follows:
    Check for updates before scanning,
    Select Perform quick scan > Scan,
    When complete, click OK, then Show Results,
    Ensure all is selected, and click Remove Selected,
    When complete, save the log in Notepad to a convenient place for future reference.
    Update and scan with your anti-malware tools

    Repeat for all computers in the "Trusted Zone" of your network (your side of the Internet "gateway" - typically the cable or DSL modem).

    Yes - not supposed to, but it happens.

    Someone needs to remove those links. That site is pure poison. I looked at it and dong absolutely nothing, Avira popped up this:

    Virus or unwanted program 'JS/Dldr.IFrame.JI [virus]'
    detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\rrkurtz\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\Rich\Cache\_CACHE_003_.
    Action performed: Move file to quarantine

    Yikes! - sorry about that. I was remiss in my mod duties with that one. Thanks Ztrucker and Broni.

    @hitman - the reason they were removed is because we do not need others clicking on suspicious links and possibly get infected. If there is reason to post links to suspicious sites ensure they are not live links - use www dot microsoft dot com or something equally benign.
