Malice of Some Sort

I followed the link on Theo's post to the "Real Clarkson Manifesto" in the Sun. He makes some sense. But anyway ...

The web page tried an advertising pop-up (irritating but they need to make money) which contained 'Trojan-Downloader.SWF.Gida.a':

(if you really want to try it, don't. If you really, really want to try it, I've replaced some of the letters.)

And the domain? Reasonably newly registered, through Yesnic in Korea - a company I remember well from my days in the incident response trenches. No registrant details:

This seems to be one of the usual small bits of malware (downloaders) that then go off and fetch tons of shit that really fucks your computer. Well done, Kaspersky.
