Suspecting Malware, I did not click on the link.<br>
<br>
The link is to a Blogspot page. (The text matches the actual link.)<br>
Blogspot is a Google product (Blogger.com)<br>
And they do have a Malware policy:<strong><br>
<br>
Malware and viruses:</strong> Do not create blogs that transmit
viruses, cause pop-ups, attempt to install software without the
reader's consent, or otherwise impact readers with malicious code. This
is strictly forbidden on Blogger.<br>
<br>
But this will not stop anyone from actually creating a blog that has
malware on it.<br>
Makes me wonder if Google has bots that scan user created blogs for
malware.<br>

Somebody cracked my gmail password and mailed that same URL to
everybody I had sent mail to in the last week or so.<br>
<br>
I guess the lesson is, if you can use more than 8 characters for a
password, you might as well. <br>
