Out of curiosity I visited the dodgy URL you posted (please don't do this yourself) using various user agent strings - a browser identifying as Windows based got the Flash Player, Java, assorted video players updates and even a Firefox plug-in offered, Mac got an offer to clean and speed up the OS and Flash Player update (the download was a dmg file) and Linux got ads.

I downloaded a number of them and uploaded them to VirusTotal https://www.virustotal.com/ - they were all picked up as adware/malware.

As they say, don't try this at home!

It appears to be a redirector page - redirecting to all manner of pages serving dodgy ads, adware and malware.
