Yes, if you click on the link, you will get something. That something is a Google warning. The Vernco site has been infected with junk in the near past. His ISP appears to be doing nothing to fix it.
Here is the analasys of the infections:
"What is the current listing status for vernco.com?
� � Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site may harm your computer.
� � Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 2 time(s) over the past 90 days.

Malicious software includes 125 exploit(s).

� � Over the past 90 days, vernco.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.
Has this site hosted malware?
� � No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days."
It seems to be self-contradictory as it says it has "not hosted malicious software" yet it also says "resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent"
So I'd say don't go there unless you're running some form of Linux on your machine. The malware is Windows based so Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, etc. are immune.
I'll keep checking it periodically. If his ISP gets it cleaned up, I'll pull a copy for archive.
This is interesting. I wonder who his ISP is. I am not sure but it sounds to me like the site itself is not "hosting" malware, or trying to distribute it to other computers, yet whoever / whatever is hosting this site is infected with malware. I have had this happen to me in the past where my computer got infected and my ISP blocked me from internet traffic as not to spread the virus.
I know this is really old but I'm new to the forums and would have really liked to see that site.
