When I clicked on the URL it redirected about 3 times and poped-up a fake "system scan" which, if followed through, leads to the installation of trojan, fake antivirus or fake "system repair tool". I fix about 2-3 customer computers per week infected with these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an FYI, I know what tiny url is and have seen it's links hijacked before.....it happens.
