Exclamation BA's Blog almost put a virus on my machine

While trying to look at Phil's blog in FireFox, the browser suddenly closed down then another opened up with the usual "your system is compromised we can fix it". It looked like Winfix2005.

I had a frantic time shutting them down at the top right corner, avoiding the "close" box. I tried the right click on the application in the start-bar but it would not work.

I then spent nearly an hour running my anti virus which gave a clean response.

I can not remember the pop up ads as I was in a blind panic at the time, but I am now weary of visiting the blog again.
