is this site installing malware July 23, 2006 10:28 AM   Subscribe

Clicking the link in this post takes me to a site that repeatedly tries to download a .wmf file onto my computer, and is setting off anti-virus alarms for other members.

Gifs. We must have gifs.

Also, the folks who hit the site and didn't get any warnings need to tighten their security settings.
