I really need an example of the code.
Also, where did it redirect to?
A virus? No. I haven't seen the code, but a simple redirect isn't that hard. What's on the website you're sent to is another question, but any reasonably updated PC shouldn't have any problems.
This is someone of limited means and ability just trying to be annoying.
