My browser just went to a blank page and sort of sat there until Norton Anti-Virus popped up with a warning that it had detected and deleted a malicious file. Definitely NOT worth the curiosity. ;o)Kathy@TheFlawlessWordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853229641428041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19555277.post-51963689478477689012007-06-26T23:26:00.000-06:002007-06-26T23:26:00.000-06:00I'm curious, too.

My virus protection immediately detected it as malware, which is good, but I wonder how often new hoaxes slip through the cracks before the virus protection can update for them. I probably shouldn't be so curious all the time.
