I only reposted the link from this post, which I was pinged to:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2723118/replies?c=1306

I also posted the same documents which are displayed there, so that nobody would have to go to the site if they did not want to. The page is still there and I have visited it multiple times on different computers with no problems whatsoever, but of course I always have my AV running, don't allow popups, block most ads, and keep my OS up-to-date. In any case, I got no warnings whatsoever.

Seems it was the document itself that was the culprit.

The two documents were jpg images. I have scanned the documents and found no viruses. I have scanned the source code of the web page and found no viruses. I have run the web page through multiple virus checkers and found no viruses.

Maybe there is a virus out there that sits on a person's machine and waits until that person visits a specific website, then activates itself. I don't know, but if that were the case, you already had gotten it from somewhere else.

It’s going to remain a mystery, but as I commented elsewhere, I am not the only one it happened to under similar circumstances.

Or, the virus have been programmed to activate itself on provided IP addresses.

I'm no computer expert but I think the programmer could easily do it. Just sayin’

Bear with me...I am a comp dummy. I just picked up this image from Google at random, and have posted the image here.

Is that the same as you did? You picked up 'properties' from the document on the Taitz site, and posted the image to the FR comments?

If that is so, how come, when I clicked on the image of the doc you posted, I ended up on the Taitz website?

Try doing that with the cat, and where does that lead you? No-where, right? So...what is the difference? HOW and WHY did I end up on the Taitz site?

Please pardon my ignorance, but if it had not been for the indication (the little hand) that the document LED to something, I would never have ended up there...
