Thanks Rocky!

Thanks for the detective work - I've sent the link on to Hostgator to see if they can help out.

Sorry for the problems folks...

Well my comp got hit from the malware and now i have some sort of program continually telling me i need to purchase their software in order to remove potential viruses.  It took the place of my windows security center and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

AVG wouldn't let me access MUScoop at all this morning.  Thankfully so, I guess.

Download and install AVG Free-edition.  They'll try to sell you their more expensive products, but there's no need.  It's free for forever and it should clean your computer right up.

same here.  great little free program.

I fully concur with all the above AVG recommendations - great free program, and kept me from accessing the site this morning (even when I wanted to!).  Occasionally they do "pester" you to buy the "professional" version, but you don't have to, and the free version has never let me down.  Again...the download link is:

http://download.cnet.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-10044820&subj=dl&tag=button&cdlPid=11014801

Which should install, and remove the malware for you.

Add Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to that list of good anti-virus programs.

If any of you guys did get Malware that program should take care of it.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/  The free version works just as well as the full version.  It doesn't have real-time protection, website scans, a scanner and update scheduler, or priority customer service.

Edit: I use this along with AVG Free.

[ChicosBailBonds]

AVG is also very good free program

[Warriors4ever]

I also have both of them, although no one should listen to me as I am a computer idiot.

No issues on SuSE Enterprise 10 along with Firefox 2.0.  Konqueror on SuSE works like a champ too.  It could be Windows-specific scripts?

Running Windows XP with Firefox 3.6 in a VM I can't get to the muscoop index.  Same with IE 8 on XP.  This is true whether I'm authenticated or not.  Clearing cookies and cache didn't help.

Chrome gets to the index fine on XP, but blows up when I try to authenticate.  After authentication if I take the arguments off of the url and just point back to the site index I can browse around (as an authenticated user) without issue.

In English please.
