The only way to be sure is to open the link in another operating system such as Linux. Even then, you'd need to be fairly experienced in malware-fighting to know what you were looking at. If your cousin sent you this link in an instant message, social networking "poke" (Facebook, MySpace), email - just delete the message and DO NOT GO TO THE LINK . There is nothing at that link that could change your life for the better. Links sent through IMs, social networks, and email are one of the prime ways people's computers get infected.
