I think I have got a hideous virus from their website. I opened it up to check the schedule and my computer went mental. I had open pokerstars.tv and Facebook too but not convinced they could be the cause. Is a nightmare. Ive got Sophos but it walked straight thought it. Sad

How did you get infected by a virus from the website?

What browser are you using, and did you execute a file, and you definitely know it's from their website?

I saw the same kind of message posted by people over on 2+2, and the Fox has now taken down their website, so looks like there was something in it.

There has been a recent Java exploit that only requires an infected website to be visited - no user interaction at all. Not saying it was this, but possible.

Been in Java for a while apparently. If you've not updated recently, probably worth doing.

Friend of mine used to use that java exploit to hack peoples runescape accounts. Pretty much all you do is open it and gg. Most probably that tbh
