This link caused my virus protection to go nuts..... Don't know what is there, probably something harmless, but had to tell you guys.

I think you need to get better virus protection. Use AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/) there is a free version (same just no support) available at http://free.grisoft.com/. It works better than Norton or MacAfee.

I think I know why it went nuts, there's a quicktime stream on the page. But other than that, your virus program shouldn't be going nuts on a web site like this.

I figured out why it went crazy. A program, probably QT, was trying to access the network. It the AV was asking permission to run the program. I didn't notice that this am, was in a rush to go to doctor.

Sorry for the false alert folks.
