The link you posted is nothing but a virus.
Shame on you. Go away and stay away.

A little off-topic mostly, but a virus? How so? Looks like plain text to me.
Maybe your browser is set with an HTML filter or other tool that doesn't react
well with Geocities access policies, but that's not a virus.

Well my copy of Norton Antivirus certainly sprang into life when I hit that
link. The log reports the risk was VBS.Redlof.A...

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.redlof.a.html

VBS.Redlof.A is a polymorphic, encrypted, Visual Basic Script virus that
infects the .html, .htm, .asp, .php, .jsp, .htt, and .vbs files on all the
drives. Depending on the location of the Windows System folder, the virus
copies itself to either %Windir%\System\Kernel.dll or
%Windir%\System\Kernel32.dll. It changes the default association for the
..dll files.

Indeed, as Cwatters says.... VBS.Redlof.A

I clicked on the link for the fun of it but AVG did not moan at that time.
After scanning I
had two copies in my Temporary Internet Files Folder that AVG flagged as
Virus
VBS.Redlof.A.

I deleted them and then looked in the registry to confirm that it hadn't
left anything else
lieing around. Fortunately it looks like the computer is now clean.

Ouch! >:)

I always switch off VBS as well as filtering it out with Proxomitron.
Actually at the risk of appearing libellous I had Proxomitron replace the
string "vbscript" with "fucktardscript" a few years ago. I still get
moments of amusement when I see that change looking as if it was part of an
original page I get at times.

That virus sounds like a singularly malicious use of it. Normally VBS is
just an annoyance.
