    That looks like one of those adword malwares to me blugene. You should run some anti-malware software in safe mode.

    Just out of curiosity though, is this site patched against viruses and malwares that can get injected into the site skins?

    Something like this (including other things) are in place to keep the bots out. This was most probably a human spammer.

    Eric's cached signature looks fine and no suspicious urls show up in a HTTP trace.

    Before running the scan, did you verify that VIPRE is up to date?

    I don't recall that VIPRE catches malware, just viruses. I could be wrong, I use trend-micros free virus scanners for almost all my computer virus cleaning needs, when you only install on demand, it's almost impossible for them to get Hi-jacked. (that said I've actually only seen 3 actual viruses in the 15 years I've been a go to guy for computer help for friends and family)

    If VIPRE comes back clean try malware bytes or spy-bot search & destroy.

    I liked them more when they stayed on top of the updates.

    Also, everyone should run RUBOTTED at all times. It's amazingly awesome.
