That doesn't look like an official GriSoft site.  In fact the domain
it redirects to is not owned by GriSoft (nor is there a link the
official site).  See the following whois lookup at www.nic.uk:

http://195.66.240.211/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?query=grisoft.co.uk&WHOIS+Submit.x=21&WHOIS+Submit.y=11

It's most likely and opportunistic squatter trying to squeeze clam-av
as in "Pay up, or we'll keep redirecting potential users to
information about a competitor"

You would think the an official site would be a little more
sophisticated than a text page.  Plus the grammar "Grisoft say:"
rather than "Grisoft says:"

And this little tidbit:
"The following information is provided by Spice New Media and is for
your reference only."

Just visit http://www.clamav.co.uk/ , then you'll see redirection.
