Yeah, I'm normally pretty virus savvy but this one fooled me today on a friend's page. It showed a video thumbnail, like normal, so I clicked on it and it took me to a page with a captcha you had to answer before they would let you load the video.... except it wouldn't let you enter anything into it. There was a counter on the left hand side of the page...like a web-traffic counter. Presumable how many people that had fooled into clicking on the link?
Anyway....I didn't seem to get any virus from this...just seemed like a prank.

This fails my inverse exclamation mark heuristic.
