Marshy,
I wasn't trying to have a go, I was genuinely trying to help. As I said, I can't duplicate what you get from that webpage as I have a Mac computer, and 99% of viruses are designed to attack PCs running Windows. The website opens fine for me, which is why I asked you to post more details about the problem. If you could be a bit more specific about the message your anti virus software gives you, as well as what AV software you are using, others may be able to help - it could be that it isn't a virus at all but the settings of the AV software are too sensitive, or are detecting something it can't identify so suspects a virus. buksida or Lev know much more about this subject and may be able to recommend a better AV package, or how to adjust your settings. Finally the browser you are using and the version of Windows could also be a factor in this, so if you can post what that is it would help. I suspect you are using Internet Explorer though. I hope that helps.

Aye, as WL stated your internet security settings are probably too high and the site is trying to run a script (javascript more than likely). I get no such errors but it does seem to be trying to launch a popup window.

Try lowering your internet security settings or using a better browser such as Firefox.

Buks, I did get a virus the 1st time i pressed on the external link, (Js/Psyme.NR). I think was caused by the Jamster popup add that appeard at some stage.

I now have firefox installed and is no problem in there, no sign of pop up or virus.
Check on a PC without firefox and it blocked the pop up add, but no virus this time.

Anyway Marshy, at least you know that your virus protection works now, take a chill pill and enjoy your xmas/new year holiday.

On a commercial website, you are more likely to get some script injected by an iframe as you surf past. The offending site operator may or may not know about it.

Maybe it was a virus .. or maybe it was a script that "behaved" like a virus to your AV.

All my sites were compromised by an iframe attack last July .. and I found the infestation only by accident. It had corrupted every site on a VPS server .. probably more than one.

That particular iframe was injecting advertising/tracking related script.
