You know this also works for moz 1.5

Doesn’t work for me (Safari 1.1, Mac OS X 10.3.2).
Angsuman> Thanks for the info. Can you please tell me if it doesn’t behave as an URL (like it doesn’t show underline and/or doesn’t display http://www.microsoft.com in status bar and/or doesn’t go to http://www.taragana.com) or it doesn’t show http://www.microsoft.com in the address bar when clicked on the link and yet take you to http://www.taragana.com?
The later I expect to be working with only IE (displaying http://www.microsoft.com in address bar while actually loading http://www.taragana.com) as it exploits an IE specific bug.
The only reason I can think of the former not working is if CSS is not supported or javascript is not enabled.
Is either of them true in your browser settings?

what I got by following the link on IE 6.0 is an error page with the following url in the address bar http://www.microsoft.com@www.taragana.com/ and both times I tried the link I got a virus infection warning by a virus called Exploit-URLSpoof.gen
How about that?
here is the virus info:
“Virus Characteristics
– Update Feb 02, 2004 –
Microsoft has released a patch for the vulnerability exploited by this threat. For more information visit:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS04-004.asp
http://support.microsoft.com/?id833786
This detection covers HTML documents (such as web pages and HTML formatted email messages) that contain malformed hyperlinks, which exploit an Internet Explorer vulnerability. Such exploits result in Internet Explorer displaying one location in the Address bar, but actually loading the content from a different site. Such URL spoofing can result in attackers creating forged versions of legitimate sites in order to steal account information, personal information, etc.
Email spam is the most likely delivery method of such malicious hyperlinks, to lure users into updating account information.
On January 10, 2004 a mass-spamming by someone phishing for Citibank account information.
Other phishing attempts have targetted eBay, eGold, Paypal, online banking sites, and porno sites.
Users should be leery of email messages asking users to click a hyperlink to update account information. It’s best to navigate to the site in question by typing the main web address into your web browser, and manually navigating to the account details page.
There are no obvious symptoms of this exploit. Files detected as Exploit-URLSpoof are benign themselves. No system changes or damage occurs from accessing an Expliot-URLSpoof file. However, following an exploited hyperlink within a detected file can result in users being tricked to divulge personal information, install malicious software, etc.”
