Shame on you. Go away and stay away.

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.

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.

Stubbed my toe on a ladder so I had to wash my foot :-(

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.
Did you wash the ladder too?
