Warning: MVP.org is not an MSoft MVP site

The Microsoft MVPs have a web domain, mvps.org, which contains what
we hope are a lot of useful articles aimed at being of help to users
of Windows.

We have become aware that there is another domain, mvp.org *without*
the s, and would advise you all that this has no connection with the
Microsoft MVP program or its members, and may put visitors at risk

Thanks for the warning, lets hope that it doesn't cause too much trouble
for the genuine MVP's whom we all rely on so much and do such a good job
of helping everyone to work with their machines.

And thanks for the info that the actual one exists. Never saw this before;
is definitely going into my Favorites.

Alex, et al;

I visited www.mvp.org. Alright, I was curious.

I got this:
[Do you want to install and run "HitQ Navagator"?]

I don't believe that I do. No, thank you.

Don't go there!

And perhaps abstain from posting a live hijack URL?
