Yea probably tons of spam and viruses. The biggest trick on the internet is to get users to "click". I never click a link unless it is for something like this where one person says the email said this and another said it said that.

I have seen websites that contained links and if you clicked them they would wipe your hard disk cleaner than a new disk drive. I have seen links where if you click them you almost guarantee yourself no less than a thousand spams. Never Never click a link unless you know and really trust the original site and even then only if you don't mind getting up on a spam list.

The trick is "NO NOT" visit websites that you do not believe you know and trust.
