Malware on site?

    I found this
    http://www.uphaa.com/blog/index.php/unfortunate-ironic-t-shirts/
    and posted it on a blog. Someone posted a reply that the site was flagged by their software as dangerous and might steal personal information.
    I had been there a couple of times without any warning, and I use Sunbelt's firewall which is usually pretty good. But I did notice that yesterday (Saturday) morning my keyboard began reversing upper and lower case letters and giving me symbols instead of numerals. The problem resolved itself in a minute or two and I thought I’d just hit one of those rare key combinations and created the problem myself. But I went back after reading friend’s warning and very quickly the screwiness returned and got worse.
    Restarting the machine fixed the problem, although I've run a scan to be sure. No problems found. Nobody else has come back with anything similar.
    Given that I can't connect the problems to the first few views, I'd like to know: is it possible for bugs to creep in progressively? Can they be structured so that repeat visits are needed for the malware to be fully transferred?

    I am able to click the link and get to the website.... which web of trust classifies as safe. Then a second later it redirects (which is the problem) and then web of trust warns me and gives me the choice to back out or let the connection take place.

    A second attempt to click the link takes me to the site once again, but this time no redirect occurs... Not bothering again, I'm about to eat dinner :)
