833786 - Steps that can help protect against fake ('spoof') websites and malicious hyperlinks ...

Original quote from the knowledge base article: The most effective way to protect yourself from malicious hyperlinks is simply not to click on them.

Enter the URL in the address bar and press [ENTER]. - Microsoft really nailed it. Sure, we all just stop clicking on hyperlinks, completely absurd idea. The best way to protect yourself from evil hyperlinks is to use a different browser than IE.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dirk that he gets through this unscathed.

However, I would say that a publication of the company name by Dirk would be useful - because only then is publicity also public. And only then can appropriate pressure be exerted. But probably the company already sees the mere mention of its name as something worth warning about...
