    A coworker of mine (Tim) recently found a buddy on his buddy list who he
    didn't know (JDogg786). When Tim sent a message to him/her, he got a
    response back "Hmmmm.. http://24.74.206.239:8180/"

    When he clicked on the link, it took him to a page which redirected to a
    download of a file ending in .com, which he promptly alerted me to and
    did not run it.

    I tried to go to this link, it tried to download the file. I hit cancel,
    then I tried to view the source of the page. From the View menu, or right
    clicking on the page, and clicking View Source, nothing happened.

    I eventually got the source using wget, which is shown below.

    Question 1: Is there a way a web page can add a buddy to your AIM list
    without your knowledge?

    Question 2: How was I prevented from viewing the source of the HTML page
    in IE?

    I wgetted the psecure20x-cgi-install.version6.01.bin.hx.com file as well
    for anyone who wants to look at it, just in case the above link does not
    work any more.
