Hi DavidR and Fluffydog,

And even when you get a 404 error from the other end, you could still be infected as instead, it contains malicious JavaScript code on the backend to exploit users when the page is loaded. Read about this trick from Ahmad Azziz on his lab69.blog here: http://blog.lab69.com/2013/01/404-and-youve-been-exploited.html,
so alwayss check these redirects given them in to jsunpack for instance or checking via an urlquery dot net scan. Malcreants are devious and like all devious entities cannot be trusted…
