I think the server may be infected again. I get stopped by Firefox.

Excuse my ignorance folks but does switching over to IE expose our own PCs to the malware?   ???

Aye! Same here. Have to visit through iPhone Safari. Who is doing this and when will we organise a holy crusade against them?

Nope, still not allowed.

Shouldn't do, particularly not if you have decent antivirus etc. Safari, Firefox and Chrome have a safety thingy built straight into them that stops you even getting to a page with detected malware. IE expects you to have your own safety stuff.

Firefox still doesn't let me in. Do I need to reboot or something?

Well I am completely blocked off. It won't even let me ignore the warning and I am clicking in circles.
