There IS malware actively attacking computers at this site. You have been warned

Are you relying on the warning banner, or other list of "attack sites", or do you have some independent verification of that?

I accessed the site last night, got the banner and went ahead anyway. Antivirus (McAfee ran a full scan this morning, in the background, and found nothing. The engine was updated yesterday afternoon, as was the signature files (DAT) file. It checked for updates around 5 PM today, and found none. I forced an update just after 7PM and it updated with a new DAT file. If I got something that was new between 5 PM yesterday and 7 PM today, hopefully the scan I'll do shortly will find it. So far no symptoms.

As I said in my earlier posts, the first time I visited the site it triggered DEP, my firewall locked my connection, my A/V system displayed a warning.

It’s been showing clean all day.

Only the hosting company, and perhaps a hacker, knows what is going on for sure.

That’s all I have.
