    Anyone having a problem accessing the rténl.ie site.

    My virus checker is blocking access to the site because it detected "Exploit Blackhole Exploit Kit (Type 1998)" and "Virus HTML/Framer"

    Yep. Got the same threat warning today. My AVG wouldn't allow me to access the site.

    I checked in a VM, it redirected to what appeared to be a counter for some German website. It didn't appear to try install anything on the sly* but clearly has nothing to do with rtnl.ie.

    *Malware often is VM aware and won't run in a virtual environment in an attempt to avoid detection so don't click through to have a look in case.

    Quite possibly rtenls webmaster might have recieved an email from a company offering to fix the website for a small fee. Said company appears legit but some websites that get hacked seem to get emailed quite quickly from them.
