Beware of sites listed in search results

I was searching about the sand storm forecast in Google and what happened to the predictions. I ended up these pages as I sorted it with dates

http://www.google.com/search?q=kuwait%20sandstorm&hl=en&rls=com.microsof...

While going through the results, I noticed two sites which are listed but leads to the irrelevant pages. When checked the pattern, both these sites are pointing to similar pages. (links are taken off)

smaggy. com/ nitgn/pztyp/ kuwait.php
dianfacil. com/ gyzkp/bncyw/ kuwait.php

On further analisys, it showed that these pages contains virus / malware which will infect the internet explorer. The details of the malware is quoted below

JS/Downloader.Agent is a detection for JavaScript files that may have malicious intent to download and execute additional malware onto the computer. When successfully invaded a computer, JS/Downloader.Agent will inject itself on Internet Explorer that may lead to redirection of web browser

Ensure that you have updated antivirus and anti-malware software installed and updated regularly.
