I have not been able to log on for the last few days. All of my other links would work, but I kept getting the message "Unable to open the page" when I tried CF. Did the site go down, or was there just too many people on line?

I hate to ask this question showing ignorance in these maters, but is there any chance we could be infected by logging into this, or any web site that has been infected, just curious.

The way they describe the attack doesn't sound like a virus. It sounds more like a denial of service attack, which is no threat to anyone else. You can think of a DOS attack as so much internet traffic to a certain page that it just blocks out all or nearly all legitimate traffic.
