TecH: Proof Of Concept Virus alert

Interesting, yet SCARY undocumented feature of WINDOZE

What in the heck were they THINKING?!!!



Do this RIGHT NOW, so you Understand it, it's simple:
Right-click on the Desktop
Create a new Shortcut
Point the location of the item to any executable... such as: c:\windows\system32\calc.exe
Name the shortcut, for example, www.microsoft.com
Start Internet Explorer (IE5 and IE6 work best)
Type "www.microsoft.com" into the address bar
Enjoy. OR Be SICKENED by this.
