    Threatmeter.com Virus

    Well, here’s a post I didn’t think I’d be making this morning.  A few days ago I put up a link to a funny little parody site called threatmeter.  Don’t go to the site.  Mark went there today and Windows Onecare told him the site has the Decdec.A virus - Sophos information here.

    I’m very, very sorry.   If you followed the link, please make sure this site didn’t infect you.

    Now I’m faced with an interesting situation - I’m not about to switch to Windows for browsing, but I’m not sure there’s  a Firefox plugin for Linux or OS X that will help me find these things before I put them up as links.  I don’t want to link to something nasty again, any suggestions?
