Virus threats on an external review site - link from IMDB should be removed asap

Just clicked on the review link (Brights Hub [Ella Smith]) to read an external review and my Eset Nod 32 Antivirus blocked NINE virus threats as soon as the page loaded. The link to that site should be removed asap.

It's the page regarding the new "Bob Ross" documentary that releases today on Netflix, so there's a strong possibility that a lot of people will click on it very soon. 

The link can be found on this IMDB page:

Hi Aris -

Thanks for your report.  I accessed the External Review link and can confirm that a valid review of the film loaded, I didn't encounter any security/virus risk on my end.   Perhaps the security risk you encountered was due to advertisements on the related site?

Since there is a valid review on the site and it doesn't violate our guidelines, we will allow it to remain listed.
