Still doing the page 3 girls are they?

Word of advice, never look directly at the Sun especially with a telescope or you'll go blind

I assume you mean when it prevents you from looking at the page?

Chances are its infected or been infected

Do they still publish the Wapping Liar

Makes me trust The Sun even less now :laugh:

That suggests that it may be the PC that is infected rather than the page having been hacked.

It also explains why you've seen several others.

Another outing for Malwarebytes Combofix Hijackthis et. al. I guess.

Ive run all the normal Anti Viruses, and in safe mode too.

Maybe you were just unlucky then.

I'd heard about the FF spoof but not read up on it (I just googled and added the link). Looking at it the spoof alert shown in that story doesn't say "attack" so unless the trojan has been changed in the month since the story was uploaded I guess you are OK.

I've seen the FF warning at least once and from memory the site itself was pretty innocuous (at least certainly not warez or !!!!!! related) so it seems security weaknesses are being exploited to add malicious code to some otherwise innocent pages. Not good.
