First and foremost... When posting URLs for sites you consider malicious
(or even suspicious), ALWAYS munge them so that any "naive innocents"
reading your article cannot just click on it and be redirected there
automagically. Something like this, for example:
<www[dot]stratitec[dot]com>.

However, you'll note that I didn't bother to fix the quoted one above
because...

I just had a look at that site via the SamSpade "Safe Browser"
<http://samspade.org/t/safe?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stratitec.com>, and saw
nothing of the sort. The closest it gets to what you describe is some
canned (i.e., the site owner cribbed 99% of it from a third party)
JavaScript menu-generation routines. That's arguably very stupid, but not
inherently evil -- and a quick perusal of the JS itself showed no hint of a
DBDL.

Methinks you have not yet found the source of your problem.
