Rockets - You did the right thing here. Well done. You stopped that site from infecting lots of other peoples machines. I IM'd Clint with the problem and SUGGESTED pulling that link to save everyone from any hassles. And yep sites can become infected without the owners knowledge, Most websites don't live on a single pc. They reside on 'rack mounts' (a loose term there). Think of a box the size of a VCR and that contains lots of sites, imagine a site in every folder on your pc. Some hosting (and not just the cheap ones) companys don't bother with any form of anti-virus protection. One site gets done all the machines on that mount can get done. Acadia - yes firefox/router most likley saved you. I'm sure Paula is fixing the problem now as well. Removal instructions for anyone that needs them below this post.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
