Just a warning for anyone thats currently using them. I went to their homepage today ~

hforthestupidp://www.simplyelectronics.net/ *** DONT CLICK***

And was infected with a virus (Well ~ would have been if it wasnt for Avira).
Typical that Firefox wasnt loading it at all and my bad judgement of using IE put my machine at risk

Beginning to worry about my order now..........

yep, its deffo infected as kaspersky wouldnt let me on the site either

Theyve clearly been hacked as firefox works and noscript shows a little extra dodgy script that its currently blocking

Because people might wanna live dangerously.

If people cant read ***DONT CLICK*** next to it then I fear they should switch off their computers now

But thats like having a button that reads "Don't press". Takes all my will power not to push it!

I think youd better goto START and 'SHUT DOWN'

Well I'm a compulsive button-pusher, and it was fine for me.
Oh I almost forgot, I'm on a Mac...
