It tries to load a virus into your PC when you go there.  Not good!

You might would to check your update and protection status.  Avast home went off when I tried to go to Amibay this morning.

All up to date with all browser plugins installed and doesnt find a thing!

EDIT: Sorry I take that back Amibay.org sets off all the alarms, amibay.org/index.php is 100% fine!

Walked away from my computer for 5 minutes, came back to a screen full of error, restarted in safe mode and it appears all my antivirus software has been deleted. Nice.

hmmm...i can't prove it but when i heard Amibay.com was back i tried to log on using both links, everything looked ok and my anti-virus software didnt pick up anything (MS Security Essentials)  however now the PC is running very slow and couple of applications (media player and skype) froze and closed down :(

is MS Sec Essentials good anti-vir software, i used to use Norton360 but we can't afford it now :(

Getting same results, running Eset Smart Security/NOD 32 on my main machine, also triggered Avast and Kaspersky on my laptops.

Recommend you don't even bother going there 'til someone from Amibay deems it safe.

I just took a look over there and the whole site is down  :-\

Maybe you guys should stop using Windows? If you insist on using something so barbaric you deserve to get infected. Being a smug Linux user i fear no such things   :razz:
