Hey javawizard - explain what takes so long to load at that page.

Um..nothing? Loaded fine - no problems. Nothing I haven't seen
before, although there was one nifty link to that large Maersk image
which was pretty cool.

Firewall didn't chirp, Norton didn't go off, images are clean and the
links are as posted.

What's the problem? I'll admit it - I don't know what you are talking
about.


1) Stalled my browser for an unusually long period of time - had to shut
it
down via task manager.
2) Web connection was not the issue
3) Same site posted in another group with a similar subject line
4) Sender: javawizard

Suspicious behavior should never be ignored, unless your computer is a
throwaway you can do without for a period of hours or days. Glad you
finally
got through.


Your behavior seems a lot more suspicious than the website's behavior. The
same
site is posted elsewhere, because the guy is trying to get clickthroughs
to his
site to support advertising.

PEBCAK

Not sure if there's a connection but shortly after clicking that link this
AM Kaspersky caught, stopped and deleted this:

It's a connection problem, just like most of our customers. Always
looking for the complicated answer. I have spent the last 15 years
dealing with spam, dos attacks, smurfs, viruses, fraudulent
transactions, etc.. There is nothing wrong with the page, Joe don't
know what he don't know... But he will swear to it and avoid the logic
at all cost...

You're right. If you notice that a web site may be exhibiting suspicious
behavior, you could ignore it completely and go get a cup of coffee.
