I just tried to make my first DNS record in the Open Source version of 
Scalr and when I did, it ended up building a domain name record like this:

e839b88b-3926-4ae0-aea0-3fa5b04ff3ae.provide.domain.here.in

and was taken to a website that offered to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player.

*REPEAT IT*

   1. Main Menu | DNS Records | Add New
   2. Leave "Auto" selected
   3. Save
   4. Click on the resulting domain name
   
*WHY IT HAPPENS*
I would guess the owner of "here.in" has a wildcard DNS record that points 
to an ad server.  The ad server appears to server up random stuff and 
probably is making someone a little money.  Clever business model, really.
