Dang site is going crazy

My test site examplecart.com shows blank one minute and correctly the next and it keeps flipping back and forth between working and not working. Anyone seen this before?

Don't go to this idiot's site. It tries to load a trojan, and I suspect it's intentional on his part.

Re: Dang site is going crazy

Really? That would explain why I got a bunch of nasty pop ups when I tried viewing the site in IE. In FF it just shows blank. I'll send this link to my web hosting guys so they can work on this. And to Stevesh, I am not an idiot and you sir lack manners.

We'll see. What I lack, sir, is patience with vandals or website owners who can't be bothered to secure their sites. I don't know which you are. If you're using a Mac or Linux, and don't have anti-virus software installed, you have a greater responsibility to the Windows users among your visitors to make sure your site isn't hacked, since you won't have any way of knowing.

Re: Dang site is going crazy

And may I suggest that your statement that you 'got a lot of nasty popups' when viewing the site in IE, and still asked the members of this forum to view the site, tells me that the attempted infection was intentional.
