It doesn't matter what browser you're using or how clean your computer is. Try it on your phone and you'll get the same results, but it is very risky. Google has a site analyzer deal and indicated this site (and others) has served malware (lots of Trojans). It's terrible because this site is unpredictable so I try to kill the browser process immediately when the site pops up.
I did some reading and perhaps some server scripts were maliciously modified. Some people tried to CHMOD the scripts and it still got modded.

CHMOD doesn't work because it is using an escalation of privilege via a bug in vBulletin server. Right now the script is pretty benign, just a redirect, you can cancel and go back without issue. They could at some point inject a more malicious script, and that is the primary concern. AK is on it, in the meantime just exercise caution. There have been zero reports of anyone getting a malicious download from this site, the issue only affects external site searches.

I actually got a pretty nasty fake antivirus hijack program from that redirect a couple weeks back that was a huge pain to clean. Definitely be careful.

I'm really sorry for the issue and truly appreciate your patience. There are some lowlife scumbags who loves spamming other websites
