When I click the second link, F-Secure flags that it has detected and removed a virus.   :(

  ::)  ::)  ::)  Perhaps you have installed an old version of F-Secure Simon.  Mine is brand spanking new and came out of the box just a few hours ago.  It's safely installed on all 3 computers.   o:)  My version says link is OK.
