Don,

 Norton shows that virus cx.cc coming from a machine with ip address 95.163.66.208:80 located in Russia.

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

 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:
