Description
In the wp-admin moderating view, when you hover over links in comments, a preview of the linked page is automatically generated and shown.
For normal comments, this is a nice feture.
But in the case of spam comments or evil comments I'm quite concerned about this, since these previews at some point might create some risk for drive-by infections, and as a minimum, may allow such comments to "phone home" and obtain my personal ip-address, should I happen to hover over any link.
And it's quite easy to hover over a link even by mistake, I try to make sure that my cursor is located on a different part of the screen before loading pages with spam comments.
Suggestion:
Don't include code for automatic preview of links in the folders spam and trash.

Hi @tobifjellner, what preview are you seeing? Can you provide a screenshot because core has no preview for links by default.
