Hegner Website infected with Virus

[turnerbc]

don't try to log on the Hegner UK website ( Hegner Lathes and Multitstar chucks) at the moment as it has been hacked and linked to a virus which will come up as a very plausible Antivirus 360 website which seems to be offering you trial protection for your computer from viruses. I made the mistake of opening it thinking it was Norton 360 which I use to protect my computer.
It cost me £70 to get one of Symatec Norton's consultants to remove it as it was deeply hidden. I was up untill after midnight online to a call centre in India .Took 2hrs to get my computer sorted. So the jaws I wanted for my Multistar Titan chuck will have to wait a lot longer.
Hegner UK are aware of the problem but havent been able to sort it yet.
Regards,
Barry

I e-mailed them this morning as soon as I'd seen this thread, but I've heard now't in reply. I rang them just now, forgetting that they close at 1pm on a Friday, so that's that until Monday.

I've just spoken to the staff at Hegner. Their website is all clear now and working fine.
