Anyone know who controls www.fashions.ukretailers.com/ ?
It attempts to download trojan horse viruses on to the users computer when you land on the site. I think the owner of the site should know pretty quick so he can rectify it.
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\6PM9ATQD\exploit[1].htm : Norton AV removed.

*DON'T* click on that link unless you know what you are doing!

My AV scanner shows it as Exploit/ByteVerify

Also Trj/Briss.A

It attempts to use a security vulnerability to download spyware onto the visitors PC without their knowledge. I believe that is a crime under the Computer Misuse Act.

Anybody fancy reporting this to their local police?

What a bunch! It seems to be a dangerous site for any unsuspecting punter to land on as it's impossible to quit the site without downloading nasty active x stuff and the like or pressing ctrl-alt-delete to quit the browser. They don't seem to have acted on any of the arbitration rulings. Bit daft as it is clear where they are based, unless the address is just a front.
