Not HTML, but JavaScript maybe, which may be indeed malicious for Windows

The article said "HTML code".
HTML does nothing except state the structure of a document.

Yes, you're right. But believe me there's no difference for
non-professional between HTML code and JavaScript inside HTML code. If that

Javascript sounds slightly too soft and cuddly though. HTML, because it

sounds heaps better than 'malicious javscript'.
