RE: Is this a virus???
first of all, never post suspicious links plain clickable like that to make sure nobody will click it accidentally, replace http with xttp for example to prevent this from happening.


for your question, ask the contact who sent it if he sent it himself. If he hasn't, it's probably a malicious website.

edit: Just checked the site, it seems to be an IM addon for extended nickname functionality. However, when I installed it, AVG woed so it probably is a virus.
