LinkClick.aspx is also broken for many users. I have not tracked down the cause but about 5% to 10% of our visitors cannot download files. They get an error and it displays LinkClick.aspx.....

An option needs to be provided to just place a nornal link.

This.

Here's my issue that I can't get around. I have found out how to disable the linkclick.aspx from the links on the site. However, my site is now flagged by Google because there was a link on our site to a site of a local business. The site was originally legit, and now it's malware.

My initial response was to remove the link. However, that linkclick.aspx is still showing up to google, even though I removed every iteration of the link from the page. How do you purge any record of a linkclick file?

i.e. Google webmaster tools says that the link in question is "http://mysite.org/linkclick.aspx....b... However, that is not an active link. Maybe it's resident somewhere in the site structure that I can't find? I added it back and the number of clicks is still showing up in the link report.
