I opened this thread, which I found through Google:
 
http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/21830/impressions-sony-mdr-v6-vs-sennheiser-hd-280-pro
 
I clicked on the link and then went to another window while it loaded. When I went back, it been been replaced by some sort of scam or malware page that imitated the look of Mac OS and wanted me to click a link ostensibly to "remove trojans."
 
I'm assuming there must be some ad here that forwarded me to this scam page, or something? I thought the administrators should know.
 
The URL of the page I went to is below. I will break it up with several spaces so nobody clicks on it accidentally.

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a Mac.

Reporting same issue. Emulated mac theme, similar address, same deal. Navigated to the home page and found it. Next try and it was gone. Tried a few threads with no issues
 
Opera 11.10 Mac OS X 10.6.7
