Is this related to that virus that redirects you from certain sites?

I don't get it. WellsFargo.com belongs to Wells Fargo. It's not a fake site. Unless the email was html and had a different link underneath the one you posted or it takes advantage of that virus that forwards internet explorer urls to that server in Russia, this really makes no sense.

That's exactly what it does. Well, not using a virus, but it displays a name that looks like a valid link, but the target of the link is another site - you can see on the bottom line of your browser where it's really going.

No difference. Wells Fargo controls where both of those point. What url actually comes up when you click the link in your email?
