FYI I got a virus alert when I went to the Phonies page on POW network. I have e-mailed them a heads up.
The page will no longer load for me.

I have had hits there also.. My AntiVir Guard blocks whatever it is. They don't spend a lot on the site?? I wonder if some poser has hacked them??

Or one of the explanations on the web is an ad is trying to redirect you to their web site??

HTML/Spoofing Gen HTML Script Virus

"A homepage can use the HTML trick to fool the user. This is called "spoofing". Very often the url of a homepage is not displayed correctly & the user thinks he is visiting a banking site. In reality he visits a page created by the malware author which looks like a banking site to steal user's identities & passwords."
