I do like your note from then:
A while back I ran clamav against all 'executable' looking external links and found one nasty file. It would be really nice if the mechanism that updates externalinks table spat out a running log of external link additions and removals that we could hook an ongoing scanner into.
Simple matter of coding, then? :-)
