    This has just gone through for me in Chrome but not in IE9, I got the same as others, Ruth, is there anything we can do to protect ourselves if we've seen this today or is it too late?

    Thanks for the comp laks:)

    Ok guys I really am sorry to be the bearer of possible bad news but I found out this morning that my credit card that I keep for internet use only has been fraudulantly used since Sunday, the last time I used it online was 21 September and they are trying variuos transactions all over the world since sunday, I have no idea if this is related to the problems we had with this but just thought I would bring this to everyones attention, I had logged into another credit card account I have but not used it to buy anything on Sunday and that seems fine and I used a card from one of my current accounts to buy something on Sunday too and that seems fine as well, really do hope everyone is ok:)

    I went to make a payment by phone and they put me straight through to collections, the fraudsters had taken £62 from my account which had taken me over my credit limit, which is unheard of on my account, after the £62 they had tried a string of transactions all across the world which were all delcined, the card has now been cancelled.

    So sorry to hear about your problems glowgirl, and I hope the problems get sorted out without delay :o I'm wondering if the attack is accessible through IE9 only, as I don't think anyone has reported attack report in anything else but that, it would be interesting if someone reported attack in anything other than IE9 :(

    Thanks cp and bebebelle:) its a very good question that I dont know the answer too, since I've been using IE9 my laptop is much more secure, for work I use a lot of obscure sites and I've had at least 85% less problems than before with IE8 as you said other attacks would be interesting to know about but I must stress that I dont know if my problem is linked to this comp, could just be one of those things, I'm so glad I have internet only cards though with very low limits/balances on them everyone always laughs at me for being paranoid;)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    dont understand why you dont put link up to actual page instead of a link to a silly smiley site - I do think if it was me or amybe a newbie - they would get slaughtered for this - even 2 consecutive posts - tsh ttp

    I don't need to do daily bumps at all, and didn't realise people would click in to my little bump thinking it was the link, so point taken, but you don't need to be rude :(
