Me, too. I have no qualms about going to zero hedge. Which is why I was surprised. Could not it have been compromised by a third party?

Does your AV software provide any more specifics?

If you have reason to believe that it came from Zero Hedge, the systems administrator (or web administrator at least) there would probably appreciate a detailed report from you on what you saw. Yes, servers connected to the Net (often web servers) are sometimes compromised by remote crackers.

Running Windows with anti-virus software would probably be the easiest way to detect it while visiting Zero Hedge. Maybe someone else reading the thread with a Windows system and whatever browser you're using will give that a try and report back to the thread.
