Here's some examples of url's caught with my filters. There's no .com or
other triggering sequence.
Electrotank Online gaming at its best1.url
Bush Finds Error In Fermilab Calculations.url
Fast-Food Purchase Seething With Unspoken Class Conflict.url
I've opened the virusmaster mailbox and did a text search in it for
possible triggers. Never found any.
