Send Help; Trapped in Stupid Factory

Regarding XP Antivirus 2009 and its variants, I ran into this by accident this weekend.

If you do a Google search for salon808, the first result should be for https://www.salon808.com . However, clicking this link, which in the status bar is shown as http://www.salon808.com , leads to http://antivirusonlinescanner.com/360/1/en/_freescan.php .

This, to me, is the strangest part. If I look at the Google cache of the Salon 808 page, it shows a legit page, and typing https://www.salon808.com into the address bar manually leads to the legit page, but clicking the Google search result will lead to the antivirusonlinescanner.com page every time. If I type in the URL manually and get to the legit page, then clicking the Google search result link will also go to the legit page. How does it do this; where along the line is the hijack happening? The results are consistent across 3 machines, and all 3 machines are clean to the best of my knowledge.

Yeah that's weird, I'm on a completely clean machine and got the same result. :confused:
