I think gulong is a Tagalog (Philippines islands language) word for wheel. So it might just be that the page is in a foreign language and you don't have Tagalog characters installed...

Duh! Too bad there's no forehead slap smiley for me. I don't know much about freewebs, but I would imagine they do monitor activities.

You may never know since there's very few viruses for linux. You could always get a Windows friend to visit the site and see if they get infected...
