"It’s working ok for me on IE." If you can surf this site without your anitivirus system notifying you of malicious software there's a good chance that you have been infected. There IS malware actively attacking computers at this site. You have been warned.

Appreciate it .. my Norton’s been pretty regular about popping up when there’s any intrusions.

Keeping everything crossed. As I said, nothing comes
up when I enter thru IE, and I’m not on it now.

Won’t Norton or spyware doctor detect it? Spyware Doctor runs constantly and blocks things.

Are you relying on the warning banner, or other list of "attack sites", or do you have some independent verification of that?

I accessed the site last night, got the banner and went ahead anyway. Antivirus (McAfee ran a full scan this morning, in the background, and found nothing. The engine was updated yesterday afternoon, as was the signature files (DAT) file. It checked for updates around 5 PM today, and found none. I forced an update just after 7PM and it updated with a new DAT file. If I got something that was new between 5 PM yesterday and 7 PM today, hopefully the scan I'll do shortly will find it. So far no symptoms.
