Well, I'm glad things are back to normal. That's the main thing. I sure wish you could have told us whatbrthe name(s) of the malware was, though. I'd like to know what happened, as well.brIt's been a couple of days, and there haven't been any other reports of this, so I hope at least that the incident was isolated.brbrIt's not unusual for a trojan to target a specific site. But this usually happens in specific circumstances.brMost often it is in the form of a redirect. Spyware that gets installed on your system that redirects a search onto the malware sponsor's site, or to some kind of spoof page.brBut again, it is hard to understand why IE still worked, and why you were still able to access Gmail, for that matter.brIf you find out any more yourself, please let us know.brbrIn the meantime, it certainly shows that no browser is invulnerable. Whatever the source,brit seems that some kind of script was run without your knowledge.brbrFor a far greater level of security, I'd recommend the Firefox extension a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=722&application=firefox"NoScri pt/a.brWith this, scripts on any site are off by default, until you specify which ones, per site, that you want to allow.br
