the site get your permission for bombing false notification of mcafee "warning
you have a virus etc etc..."
do not clik over those links...

on chrome it had a hard time blocking the source of the fake notifications that
try to make you click somewhere
you find news on the web about this spam...


about macros? no , I don't use macro, but exe. Now it's impossible to post exe
without registration ... too much false positives by antivirus. so I'm trying to
figure out how long it lasts and if it's expensive to register the apps
BR!

sorry, I didn't understand, there is no macro on that site, there is only
garbage. I was curious about your link and downloaded the page ( without making
it work in the browser!!!) that they injected into geocities.ws. Name chosen for
fishing, it was a site known many many years ago.
This is the malicious code of that page, one shot and I blurred it on purpose.
I hope, also from what I found on the web, that it didn't do me any harm, it
only managed to make me targeted by the bombardment of fake notifications, WHICH
I CERTAINLY DIDN'T CLICK ON.
Guys, stay away from that fake geocities page

I got to the site by way of the "Wayback Machine" somehow, without any 
fuss or problems, and I am well-protected online. The John VanSickle 
contribution (he should be mentioned as the original author!) dates from 
2008 which probably contributes to the problems.

I attach here a zip file with the macros, plus a pdf file of the 
original text on the site. Guaranteed no spam or other beasties ;-)
