The main attacks her site seems to get are Javascript insertions. So, before going on her site, disable Javascript ( and Java to b eobn the safe side ) in your browser. In Firefox, it is under Tools- Options - Content.

Javascripts are contained in their own sandboxes that are separate from operating systems, and they are prohibited from manipulating the computer's hardware or making direct calls to computer operating systems.

Now, ActiveX for Windows Explorer is a different matter.

Orly's website always seems safe to me, but I usually know what to do if I suspect malicious coding.
