Glad to hear IE8 will handle that site, but I wonder about IE6 - it's still pretty popular (although Aurora is likely to change that in a hurry).

Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. I was going to see about having the malware site taken down, *not* Mike's.
As it is, that site looks like a legit site that's been hacked; a whois returned the owner's contact info, so I've dropped him an e-mail warning him of the hack.
EDIT: the site owner knows about the hack and is cleaning his site up.

Thank you very much.
I was trying to cleanup the code, but I was not able to find the source of the malicious content!
thanks for the precious hint!

I'm going to try to help him with the cleanup; Mike can probably leave his link there, since the infected site should be dis-infected shortly.
EDIT 2: Just dropped the site owner a note specifying how to remove the malicious JavaScript the hacker left. With any luck, the site should be clean soon.

Ok, thanks. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
Cheers!
