If you let your mouse hover over the link that caused this message, what does the link look like?

For instance when I hover over someone's name in my Update List is displayed like this:

http://www.genesrenuited.co.uk/contact.asp?wci=contactdetails&contact_key=4043407

over on the bottom left of the status bar, where the number at the end is a variable.

Downside what do you get on this link if you hover your mouse?

Nice router....what make/model....sounds like a good one?

Downside what do you get on this link if you hover your mouse?

Unless this a trick question, the same as you can see.

What point are you trying to make?

[stevieuk]

No its not a trick question.

If you click it it`ll show a Scrubbie, a nylon pot scrubber, which I use in my Fishtank filter.



The point is it could lead to anywhere or for that matter anything I wish to lead you... a Malicious site with a Trojan, virus or whatever. Its very easy to believe that hovering a mouse over a link will show whether a link is safe.

Short links are dangerous, I wonder how many think of that? 

Just an example of how dangerous the net is & just out of curiousity if I`d posted heres a link to Norton`s newest, bestest A/V would you have clicked it?
