DO NOT EVER VISIT THAT SITE! it somehow installs a worm into your system called av.exe and you will know if you have it....you may see the link alot if you use AIM b/c it takes over peoples profiles and puts its link there which is how I got it.
JUST DONT EVER GO THERE!
if you do have the virus let me know and I'll tell ya how to remover it. You just need to delete a few reg. keys.
but its still a major PITA and i dont know how it did it but I feel sure that somehow more sites are going to be able to do the same and what a mess that could be. i just hope microsoft finds a fix for this IE security glitch.

I just re-formatted and "downgraded" from terrible XP to better windows 2k pro(but am currently running mandrake). first thing i did was install all the patches/updates and normally would have installed blackice and norton next but installed AIM for some reason and checked out a few away messages and got it. Its gone now, I'm pretty computer savvy but this was just a warning for others! it was actually easy to get rid of if you know what your doing so let me know if anyone runs into any trouble.
