ITV Talent Website - Virus?

I haven't been watching the series, so I thought I would go and see the videos of whats left ect.

But no matter how many times I try the site, I get forwarded to: http://xponlinescanner.com/2008/6/fr...p?aid=77011809

^^which is one of those anti-virus - viruses.

Is anyone else getting forwarded from the ITV site to the virus site? And also, how do you contact ITV? Anyone know the email address?

Ooh. Should have Googled first, it seems this is not just specific to the Talent part of the website:

Im using Safari (Mac) and it was just funny. The popup started scanning in C:\Windows, which I knew Mac didnt have

Just thought I would let people know.

I got this annoying little peice of garbage today when surfing through the ITV website, but have been fine ever since, so something must have happened to stop it. Unless Firefox has detected the pop up and is stopping it immediately upon entering the site? Anyway, all is good..............for now. I've realised that it may not actually have been scanning my system, seeing as though Linux and Mac users have reported that it was scanning the Windows directory, which is impossible.
