GIRLS -- MUST-READ: LinkScanner Online

http://linkscanner.explabs.com/linkscanner/default.asp

Use LinkScanner Online to inspect:
Links forwarded by friends
Web sites displayed on search results
Any link with suspicious characters or web site you have never visited

Why use LinkScanner Online?
Cybercriminals use "lure" sites to attract web users to sites they have invisibly infected with exploit code. This exploit code is then used to infect users' PCs with drive-by downloads of spyware, rootkits, and other malware.
Just because you click a link doesn't mean you'll land on the site you thought you would
Just because a site looks innocent doesn't mean the underlying code is harmless
Just because a search engine serves up a listing doesn't mean you can trust it
