Here you are.

Do not click if you run Internet Explorer or Windows!.

It's an Internet Explorer exploit first and foremost, crashing it due to its shoddy handling of unexpected code, but Firefox users have reported the occasional blue screen of death too so you're not necessarily immune, although that sounds more like a Windows bug. Opera seems to be fine here. Of course if he's smart and using a stable operating system he'll be unaffected regardless of browser

Freaky picture, too.

Edit: According to my friend running a pretty much fully patched IE after Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer doesn't crash. So it may well be that the flaw has been patched by Microsoft.

Looks like your revenge may have to wait a bit longer
