Ok, it seems the culprit is this fragment

 <!-- Site Meter -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="<http://s18.sitemeter.com/js/counter.js?site=s18lesswrong>"> </script>
<noscript>
<a href="<http://s18.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s18lesswrong>" target="_top">

Commenting it out will get rid of the vindicosuite stuff. So I guess this is sitemeter.com gone rogue.

Some Googling found at least one other person who noticed the same problem.
