Hi malware fighters,

Used this redirect before? Try it.
Give in this link and you land onto an interstitial page where you have to click to go on:

http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F

Just learned another trick,

polonus (click on the picture for animation)

Hello drhayden1,

This is a redirect, my dear friend. And more intricate of these sort of redirects can also be used by the evil malcreants not to go ‘fishing’ but to go a-phishing. That is why the Netcraft toolbar is a good friend of Polonus’s. What if that was a hidden embedded link and it did not redirect to CNN but to … to a phishing site of some sort, don’t you want to know not to click on these or have NoScript installed so you are not taken there automatically?

Read this for instance and shiver: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=27988.msg228393;topicseen#msg228393
