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.
