I searched for it and my Avast virusscanner picked it up and broke off the connection. (I love Avast's real-time scanner, it detects a problem before you're even on the webpage with LOUD NOISES too, so you can break it off before you go to the site.)

So, yeah, maybe try Avast?

Also, a huge help in stopping malware sites is to use a custom hosts file: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

To stop this site from being accessed by your browser, add the following line to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 tredols.com

Now, when you're redirected by the virus to tredols.com, you'll end up at 127.0.0.1 instead (which is your computer) and not actually the malware site. It should at least stop the site from doing more damage.

1. ) Install and run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

2. ) Run ComboFix.

(Guide at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix )

3. ) Re-run ComboFix.

4. ) Re-run MalwareBytes as a full scan.

5. ) If it is still in there, I'll be on channel.

Usually I find most things depart after the initial mix of MalwareBytes/Combofix.
