I've had the same virus warning from my Norton Symantic 360 for the last four out of five days or nights that I've clicked to get to FT, with the most recent being early this morning. Each time, Norton blocked and removed two immediate threats, but that leaves a blank page on my screen with the option to either use the "cleaner" to remove the fraudulent threat, or cancel which gets me to my initial Windows icon page. If I just try to close the blank page at the top right, it just pops up the same box offering to get rid of the threat.

Noticed that the threat arrives with two different URL's, but both of them end with the same ".pl", so I'm surprised that IB can do nothing to track and stop the threats.

Just to be safe I do a complete scan of my system after Norton blocks the threat, and nothing shows up, so it appears to have been successfully blocked, but I'm not happy about the threat, even moreso if it's coming from FT.
