CHMOD doesn't work because it is using an escalation of privilege via a bug in vBulletin server. Right now the script is pretty benign, just a redirect, you can cancel and go back without issue. They could at some point inject a more malicious script, and that is the primary concern. AK is on it, in the meantime just exercise caution. There have been zero reports of anyone getting a malicious download from this site, the issue only affects external site searches.
