The "Try the Demo" link currently redirects to several different sites that try to trick the user into installing malware.

Eesh, I guess the domain expired and got poached by scammers/squatters. Hopefully someone still active on GitHub has push access to remove the links to that domain no longer controlled by the project.

@jamesgecko: Thanks for reporting this! I'm not very active here, but @MaxLeiter saw the issue and threw an email in my direction. As @dgw says, the URL got squatted after I stopped paying for it

I've now removed any trace of the URL and pushed the changes

Thanks guys!
