Classical porn and warez scam. The site itself is an attempt to extract
your email out of you for the purpose of spamming you. Offers you a set of
nicely looking warez for download. When you click on the link, a window
opens which prompts you for a password ("The files are available only for
members, membership is 100% free, see instructions here", the instructions
say to send them your mail address, they then mail you there either the
password or link to the password page (to verify the mail), where you get
the password (it's "premium"), then the site redirects you to
www.easywarez.com. You can find both the password and the target site from
the javascript in the page source, though they are trying to obfuscate it
by writing it down as sequence of ASCII values of the letters, eg.
String.fromCharCode(112,114,101,109,105,117,109) is "premium".

Beware of other annoyances, ie. ActiveX downloads of dial-a-porn programs.
Hadn't found them on a first glance there, but they can lurk on some of
the linked pages.

In sum, the site seems to be designed to automatically harvest
high-quality verified email addresses to sell them to spam business.
