As for wiki.d-addicts.com being down, can't say as it is several hours after your last post.
But you can check any site to see if up or down in the future:

I do not think you can pass any malware to Windows platforms if the users do not use the same typo you did, they cannot be harmed either. So do not panick, you are safe.
About iPod security read this:
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonetroubleshooting/a/iphone-security.htm
(link author Sam Costello)
The site wiki.d-addicts.com is found to be clean on VT, Quttera and urlquery.net scanning
availability is OK:

Hi TuckerX,
As safe mode av scan you can select a avast boottime scan. Once memory scan finish, you can right click on the Avast anti virus window and select “Schedule Boot Time Scan”.
A website address can be an IP. For instance here where hostname is the same as the IP:
http://173.194.65.100/
this is a google address. So you can go there as
http://www.google.nl
or as
http://173.194.65.100
the IP number that resolves to that address,

Oh im not wondering about that. I am wondering if malware can hide from my av scanner if its not in safe mode. Also can windows malware hide from my antivirus scanner when doing a regular scan on my computer(when not in safe mode)? I just want to know in cause I should run my antivirus scanner in safe mode also.
About the ip adress: well i dont remember what the ip adress was when I clicked on the link but I ran my antivirus scanners(clamXav and Sophos) and they found nothing so i guess i am safe.
