And you have to believe there are rapidly growing contaminated links trying to get people to click.Next Tuesday is Microsoft Vulnerability Tuesday, the day they put out patches.

Not very scalable to put into effect. Good post – this is a really bad issue, one with no fix, and only a marginal “workaround”.
