Firstly, thanks for the time and effort you've contributed to resolving my problem.
Here are my results:
First, I updated and ran my Norton Antivirus, full system scan and found no viruses.
Then I ran an online scan using Trend Micro Housecall, again no viruses found.
I then installed, updated and ran a full scan of Sypbot S&D. The following was found:
DSO Exploit - Microsoft Internet Explorer security hole. (This is interesting because
when I visit the MS Update it reports that there are no more available updates for
my system).
Spybot also found Fastclick - tracking cookie.
I fixed the above problems with Spybot.
Then I installed, updated and ran Adaware, 2 tracking cookies found.
The last step was to run CWShredder, so I downloaded, installed, updated and ran
it. Nothing found.
The problem however still exists. It is only with one page in particular... www.e-lunatic.org.
Every other web page does work as it should. I have been to this page previously
without problems and my brother reports that he can still access it.
