Virus on Giffgaff page?

Hi all,

Has anyone else experienced an HTML script virus when comparing prices on the Giffgaff page on the main site? It happened several times but I've now done a complete scan so hopefully, I've seen the back of it.

    I'm not going to visit the site right now (for obvious reason) but this is a perfect example why you/me/people should be running the 'No Scrip' add-on in Firefox.

    Yeah, Jayme - I'm seriously thinking of going back to Firefox. Have just about about had enough of IE. I had to go back and instal IE7 because 8 was giving me so many problems.

    Download sandboxie, and run your browser in it, the sandbox keeps everything it gets whilst browsing into a safe area, and when you delete the contents of the sandbox, what ever came in, even if you get a virus/malware will be gone, as the do not get access to the rest of the computer.

    All cookies will also be gone in this mode as well and any downloads, however if you do do a download, it can be saved to its correct location. Read the operating instructions about it, if you get it.

    Site is now down...

    "ooops... seems like we've got gremlins" it says. Hopefully means they are giving it a sweep out.
  • I get the gremlin page. I received my iphone 4s this afternoon, looks like its connected to 02 but wont call or text :( and now can't get to the site to figure the issue :(
