Hi Pondus,

I trust Sucuri here, moreover considering the IP badness history: https://www.virustotal.com/en/ip-address/192.254.224.61/information/

VT results are important and often redommended standard,
but it is known to me that (bad hat) SEO Spam and defacements/hacks are very often not being flagged by VirusTotal.
What is the criterium here? That code must be infectious as such and hacks also?
Well, fraudulent redirects (spam fraud, defacement) etc. are not considered malicious in this strict sense here  :o

I think this is a big blind spot where VT is concerned, same goes for some other scanners that miss SEO Spam for instance.
Killmalware is a good exeption to that rule. Quttera is also gettting better and better in detecting these various forms of abuse.

Also adware that is hidden but not malign as such is often spared by AV solutions,
even in PUP scannningm often because of legit implications.
That is for instance why several forms of Conduit crapware is being missed by major AV.
So here this is a grey area but the undetected is out there, the so-called virus X-Files  ;D  ;)

Here I give an example of abuse that is there, but that VT ignores or does not detect (I do not know what to think of this):
Been defaced/hacked since 22 hours ago: http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/karismahairdressing.com
Exploit used: http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=106365781917123&w=2
Flagged and description here: http://killmalware.com/karismahairdressing.com/#
Missed: https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/0e59b420676f20ce3be67aecfd0099b5ae656a26062adaf1d2e2cb8c35b26fa1/analysis/1417104200/
Missed: http://quttera.com/detailed_report/karismahairdressing.com
Even here external element mentioned but not flagged  :o ->
http://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/show/c5addaf3657eeaa53edc6ae8bc09a5bf-1417104462
http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1417104659774
So do not leave this link: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=197705186938936&story_fbid=554733231236128
DrWeb URL scanning extensions flags clicking that external link (to defaced site).
