    It's a trick!

    Surely everybody reading this knows that PDF's can continue internal
    malware - as can links that when pressed take you to sites which will
    download malware.

    I know it's not directly related to TV, but anyone with a working
    method to virus scan such links would be doing the newsgroup a
    service.
