Default Anybody with site problems?

Twice tonight when I was on this site my webpage blacked out and the icons on my screen started flickering and disappearing. My conclusion is its the site or a virus. As soon as I sign off I will be running Spybot. Been having a lot of problems with Huntbar.Stoolbar spyware sneaking in.

No issues here. A good AV program will prevent the spyware.

Internet explorer keeps shutting this site down saying there is a issue with it.

For me, a few days ago, this site would come up with no graphics, just text. The text lines were in the same position that they normally are, but with just a white screen behind the text.

I also run spybot!

No problems after a few days ago.

I agree. I have no problems here either. I'm running the new Internet Explorer 9 along with Avast AV and Adware.

Exactly my issue! I thought I had a corrupted cache or malware. I ran a malware scan and found nothing. I think they're screwing with the damn site again.
