Looks like my malware-detector - VIPRE Internet Security 2013 - didn't
like your URL.  It does it every now and then and hides what it removes
but I was able to examine it - looks like VIPRE doesn't like long
involved URLs.

However, in both Win XP and Win 7 (don't know about Win 8) the OS has a
time sync default of once a week but one can set the sync interval to
another value by judicious hack...err, editing of the Registry.  I have
mine set to sync hourly - overkill perhaps but that's what I do.
Remnants of the old "keep alive" procedures of dial-up days.  Keeps my
K2 operation on time as well.
