    Another hit caught by AdGuard:

    Adguard has blocked access to this page
    This web page at www.chris-pc.com has been reported as a malware page and has been blocked based on your security preferences.

    Adguard has found that malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it is possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. We recommend you to not proceed or try again later.

    They're doing obvious search engine optimization. They have a "RAM Booster" program. Said program exits with an obviously fake error message when run in Anubis sandbox.
