When I clicked the link it started opening 100's of internets until Comcast shut me down. Running Webroot Antivirus to try and find it now.

I didn't get any oddball behavior from the image itself so if I had to guess, I would say there may be something nasty that tried to come through one of the ads on that site.

It was a HackTool. Webroot identified it as App/NirSoft-Gen.

My guess would be a malicious ad then. Good catch. Let us know if it happens again.

Also, just for consistency and to protect our community, I have removed the link on the page as well.
