I'm tempted to go to that site now to see how immune I am to malware. Combining fully updated XP + FF 3.6 + Peerblock + Adblock + Outpost Firewall (w/ cloud ad filter) + KAV 9 + OpenDNS + Spybot S&D hosts immunizations I think I'd be pretty safe

Peerblock caught it for me as being part of the Russian Federation. I block China, Russia, Brazil, and some other known hacker+hijacked+spyware ip's. I also block all known proxies. I turned Peerblock off and FF caught it as a suspected attack site. I ignored that warning and the site wasn't found...not sure whether my firewall, ad filters, or host protections filtered it or the site doesn't exist anymore. Either way there's no way I could have gotten infected from this site without knowing about it.

And I ran Firefox inside a sandbox just to be extra safe I'm sure OpenDNS would have caught it as well, but since I'm behind a VPN that uses its own encrypted DNS servers, I can't tell.
