For Info.

SFI has apparently solved its virus problems which has affected the website for several weeks and is back up and running again, albeit with the loss of the most recent threads.

Still not 100% though. Anyone know what actually happened to it?

I think the elastic band snapped.

I got dire warnings from a couple of browsers a few weeks back on SFI. This may not actually be anything wrong with their system, but with content on one of the rotating advertisements. Google was warning about malware on the root page here about six months back and it was due to a non-paid courtesy announcement / banner ad to a location that had changed ownership and turned to the 'dark side.'
