"NetSec's Houlahan advocated drastic action.

"I told my wife, unless it is absolutely necessary and unless you are going to a site like our banking site, stay off the Internet right now," he said."

Why not tell the kids too. big grin smile

Seriously though this is a huge deal for people browsing the net using IE and visiting sites using IIS. The infection is triggered by some JavaScript that is appended to the bottom of every webpage served up by the infected webserver.

It would almost seem to me that by disabling Javascript you could elude the infection, or switch to something cool like Mozilla or FireFox

On a side note it would seem that one of my previous webhosts and the worse hosting company in the world, Interland, got hacked not to long ago.
