If you go to this site it'll mess up your browser and your privacy will be compromised:

this site messed up my firefox and undid the immunizations that spybot implemented into firefox and now I'm getting spam in my inbox over the last few days.

Hello negativeions,

bit.ly is an URL shortener which is offered as an add on for Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10297

There is an epidemic of URL shortener's being used to hide malicious links. :sad:
