Thanks. I've got the IB tech team hopefully working on this.. Please accept my most humble apologies for this, even though it's beyond my control, I take this kind of thing personally.

Best bet is to run Firefox, and use the script blocker plugin. that will prevent ANY script from running unless you allow it.

Again, so sorry!!

I've seen that others are having the same issue on other Audi forums. I have not seen it myself but I run Norton and use Firefox.

I have heard that the MS antivirus software is the best free one out there
