Virus on blog site

Just as a warning...

Nothing happens with Firefox though so you should be safe if you use that (dunno about IE6)

Thanks for the heads up, but before you scare everyone away, can someone else confirm that this is not just your computer?

Yeah there's something wrong with the blog site. On my PC laptop in IE, upon visiting the blog, a script pops up, starts doing something, opens windows picture and fax viewer-- I had to force quit IE.

Firefox completely locked up, I had to force shut down my computer.

I did notice something in the status bar at the bottom of the browser about hitbox.something.ru (don't remember what something is but I wouldn't like to go back until that issue is taken care of)-- definitely sounded suspicious. In any case my hard drive was just going and going-- not sure exactly what it was but something's not right on the blog page, be it virus or some other type of malware.

I posted this already on the blog:
Confirmed in Firefox, when I open the blog page Firefox froze for around a minute, while its VM usage grew from 20 or 30 MB to more than 600MB. It went back to normal after I close the page/tab in firefox.
