Does anyone else have intermittent redirects from IOL to foreign web-sites trying to install trojans or rogue software through their browsers? I get a redirect every three days or so from random links on IOL that sends my anti-virus into an apoplectic fit...

I've e-mail IOL about the issue, but they don't really seem to care or are unable to get rid of the issue...

:-) - it's true.

Must be the worst news website in the country.

Pages not found, navigation a nightmare - and as for the journalism.... poorly written, with unacceptable grammar and spelling and many of the headlines are taken from last weeks Daily Mail.

Ah, that bastion of outstanding journalism... I nearly had a coronary whilst browsing their site the other day...

I agree with you, what a horrible website IOL is. Never will it be seen by my browser.

They dont care! as the malware is from dodgy advertising banners. Install an AdBlocker in your browser and the problem is fixed :D
