Well, this must be a classic even for M$.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=833786

Subject of advisory:

Steps that you can take to help identify and to help protect yourself from
deceptive (spoofed) Web sites and malicious hyperlinks


-- Relevant snippet --

 Use Jscript commands to try to identify the actual URL for the current
Web site

Use a JScript command in Internet Explorer. In the Address bar, type the
following command, and then press ENTER:

javascript:alert("Actual URL address: " + location.protocol + "//" +
location.hostname + "/");

 Caution Use caution when you type script directly in the Address bar.
Script that you type directly in the Address bar can take the same actions
on the local system as the user who is currently logged on.

-- End of snippet --


 What type of numpty puts up an advisory regarding (probably) malicious
spoofing, and then tells you how to actively execute the url?

 Do I detect a certain sense of irony.
