John. Thanks for posting that website. I have no idea what it says and no intenion of opening it up. Next tiem you implore us to go to a webiste at least give us a sentence as to what it contains. Most viruses come in on webistes these days adn to my way of thinking, a wib site named "tinyurl" is highly suspect.

And I hope it is fo rthe rest of the guys and gals too.

MIA,

You are right to be cautious. You're also obviously not aware that "Tinyurl" is a web service that shrinks long URLs (web addresses) down to a shorter form for posting in forums, emails etc. They then redirect the traffic from their server where the original address is stored to the web site it connects to. It is for real.

I can open and scan it in a virtual sandbox isolated from the rest of my system where it is harmless.

Here's the full address:
