To all you super-users of google and the like. I had the following emailed to me because the lurker was unable to post for some reason. Not being a super user, the information at the link was unusual and I am not certain of what was stumbled upon. If anyone has an idea, sound off.
Hi, I am a TM lurker. I just submitted the following to the FBI. Wanted to share it with someone here as well.
http://www.doubleclickme.com/?t=msn.com+hotmail
when I scrolled down to the bottom there was a lot of Jibberish, but some seemed a bit weird, so I reported it. I originally did a search at MSN for "by2fd.bay2" because I was trying to stop spyware.

Who sent it to you?
It looks like spam to me (without clicking on any of it).

It's nothing: the site name 'DOUBLE click ME' and the content suggest a page sent as html by a spammer. The gibberish is stuff trying to get around Baysian spam filters. You probably got it because despite it having its own domain name it was on an MSN server and got indexed by their bot.
We had another false-alarm like that yesterday with some newbie to FR posting a new thread with the 'Threat Matrix' title. I tried to explain it to the newbie, but he or she had left or been zotted.

Everytime I click on that (actually, I have to copy it and go to the site), the message (or "Jibberish") that pops up is different.
