Don,

Norton blocked it when I went to contesting.com and refers to Malicious Tookit
Website 9.

Subject : RE: [RTTY] Possible Virus on contesting.com?
On Friday I got a nasty virus on my work laptop while visiting a couple ham
websites. I couldn't peg down which one.
Today, on both my home PCs, when I went to contesting.com, I got a dialog box
that asks me if I want to open a program on my
computer.
Of course, I canceled the request.
I don't recall allowing this on my work PC but I may have. The virus I got was
actually a dangerous trojan called Data Restore. It
took me a couple of hours, but I was able to get rid of it using a method
described on myantispyware.com.
I have sent a message to the webmaster @ contesting.com to have them check the
website for viruses. I could be mistaken but
something doesn't seem right.
Here's a screenshot of the dialog box that pops up when visiting contesting.com:
