| There's a website for a couple of famous jazz trumpeters, the late
| Candoli brothers.

| h**p://www.candoli.com

| It's a legitimate site, these guys were icons. There's a photo in
| their gallery of Pete playing wearing a Superman suit. I posted the
| direct link to it in a trumpet forum.

| h**p://www.candoli.com/pic28.htm

| Several people reported that clicking the link brought up that
| Antivirus 2009 malware bogus alert. I tried it and got the same
| thing.

| How does that Antivirus 2009 page hijack attempts to go to other sites
| like that? How does it get attached to certain ones?

| How is it these people haven't been shut down?

The site was hacked and is now compramised.  It takes you to a malicious site 
78.110.175.21

http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=5440

The malicous site will test the PC for vulneranilities in Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and 
MDAC.

Successful exploitation will yield a EXE file.

Prevx1 V2 2009.01.03 Information Stealer
Sophos 4.37.0 2009.01.03 Troj/Daonol-Fam
TrendMicro 8.700.0.1004 2009.01.02 PAK_Generic.001

Which will drop; %windir%\system32\wdmaud.sys

All you can do it was what you did, contact the site owner to get the site fixed.

{ BTW: Thanx go to Ant ! }
