When I visit the site via Firefox, I get a page stating that I need to update Firefox, and it downloads a virus for me to click on to install.

Please be careful when visiting this site, and close any windows that state that you should update your browser.

I reported this issue two months ago to the site, not happy that it is still occurring

Hey Trotter, I passed on your messages to Bill and he’s “fixed” it twice. He says that fixing the issue is tricky because it runs code from another website, and only runs it once per IP address, so after you see that notice once, you won't see it again.

For now he thinks it’s fixed, but please let me know if it happens again. No one else had been reporting this issue (if they are facing it), so it may be difficult to pinpoint the issue.

Cheers.

Eorl, can you thank Bill for this?

Will let you know if I see it happening again?
