Number 24 for my samples and not being flagged by MBAM.

Can you tell me anything about this? I found it doing a Google search for the domain to see if I could figure out what kind of crap it was spreading, since my computer may have been exposed.
A site, Godfrey Memorial Library, was hacked - they are trying to hide the fact (their official statement admitted this has been happening, but said no user computers were at risk!) but there was
something hidden in the JavaScript there. Someone else read the statusbar on IE reporting an visit to xxx.moneypuller.site90.com (since he later called it "moneygrabber", I don't know if it was really .net and not .com and he misread it) - I didn't see any report of a script, and FireKeeper didn't warn me of any trouble, but when I chose "View Source" and searched for "moneypuller" FF found
something as it jumped to the JavaScript line but couldn't display anything. When I saved the source code as text and searched for the same string, I found nothing... Another person who visited the site said AVG Free picked up something called Downloader and dealt with it on her computer.
I've scanned with MBAM (but you noted it was not flagging this file?) and Spybot S&D, and found nothing. Will I need to uninstall Kaspersky AV and install AVG to find out if I got anything downloaded to my system? (I also use TinyWatcher, which did not report any changes on the next reboot after I visited the Godfrey site - but I'm not sure what it scans, so not sure it would catch this.)
Basically, I'm just asking what I need to do to be sure my computer is clean. If this is emerging, does anyone even know yet? Or do I need to do a complete HDD nuke and reinstall? (Which would take me weeks, with all the crap I have on here.)
Thanks for any help or advice you can give.
