I stupidly clicked on this. According to NAV, it infected my PC with the
Bloodhound.Exploit.21 virus. Also, it added a bogus .hta file to
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. ZoneAlarm
started giving alerts about mshta.exe.

You should have rendered the link unclickable as well, so others don't
suffer the same fate.

<URL:http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/bloodhound.exploit.21.html>

By the way, it only affects users of Internet Explorer who have
JavaScript enabled. Firefox and other browsers are immune, as they are
to most all exploits.

Actually, Comcast has finally removed access to the site.

After having infected yourself, what was the purpose of disseminating
the virus further?

Sorry for the oversight, and thanks for pointing it out. I'll remember that
in the future.
