Hmmm, now this could be a problem with my system, rather than the site, but I just tried to access the WIR website, abd it immediately set of my Anti-Virus alarms on Avast, so the site itself might well be infested. Wasn't sure how best to flag this up, but I figured registering and posting a warning was possibly the best Icould think of.

I got it too. It's a trojan horse. Probably coming off of that digital web-ring link.

Which WIR site did you try to access? The official one is at http://www.unheardtaunts.com/wir/

The original domain that hosted WIR a long time ago was accidentally allowed to lapse, and was taken over by a scumware site.
