This is too crazy. In response to numerous security problems with Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser, Microsoft produced this informative page.

I'll spare you the time of reading through it all, and point out the most important piece (taken verbatim from Microsoft's own text):

The most effective step that you can take to help protect yourself from malicious hyperlinks is not to click them. Rather, type the URL of your intended destination in the address bar yourself.

Just to be sure we're all clear on this, Microsoft has said that people should stop clicking on hyperlinks in web pages, because that's insecure. Got that? No more clicking urls.

Update: this is now on slashdot with plenty of silly comments in the discussion threads (though none as silly as Microsoft's advice of not clicking urls).
