Thanks , Taco. I use IE and a Firewall , visiting the site without Firewall means getting cookies by Doubleclick, which as far as I know contains spyware, Adserver and some others. There were also some connection requests ( =spyware as well). French sites usually use a lot of Active X, Java etc, so that I usually either can't open them or see a blank page, because of firewall protection. Ad-aware did not find new objects after visiting the site.
I don't remember who suggested a site to know why spam comes in groups, but I was not able to open it, and checking using the Firewall I noticed it had several doubleclick and other spam-furnishing devices inserted...funny, isn't it? An anti-spam site.. There is a link page on my site , for Tablatures, I'll update it as soon as possible.
