Elephant racing site virus?

I buy my parts from our host, but wanted to look up the 914 sway bars from Elephant, trying to compare vs tarret vs smart.....

Looked using my pc at work...

Clicked on the 914 tab and up popped our Trend Micro virus alert, minute or two later I get BSOD. Reboot, BSOD...unplugged network cable, get booted for a few minutes....I get BSOD.

Trend Micro says something about JAVA.

My pc at work is screwed. Any suggestions (that don't say stop looking at porsche parts at work)

My IT guy is picking it up in the morning...

Same site crashed my firefox here at home.

Use firefox at work too.

Site uses extremetracking.com for traffic stats. Think it's a Java based tracker.

May be the issue.

Site source code is extremely messy.

I was just on the site tonight. No problems at all. I use Norton Anti-virus.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this with our ELEPHANT RACING Home website?

I'm working with our server admin and so far finding nothing.

Chuck,

Thanks for looking into it. I would hope its just coincidental.

I was able to get my PC back on the corp network in safe mode this morning, got all my data backed up. IT guys are wiping the system now.....

Thanks,

Hi Chuck,

Ever consider using Google Analytics instead?

Chuck, I tried your site in IE8, FF, and Chrome on my PC. No problems at all.

The Elephant Racing site is a virus; you visit the site, and the next thing you know, your wallet is empty!
