OK, but I'm not getting it by using either my CHROME or Firefox bookmark, though using the link here triggers AVAST in both.

I use numerous scanning and removal tools daily to rid computers of nasties. One of the best I can recommend is Malware Bytes Just install, run the update and let it scan. You might need to reboot in safe mode with or without networking to get rid of some things but for the most part this scanner does a very good job. If it fails to remove the issue you can PM me and I will start listing off tools in the order of what I typically will run against a clients computer.

As for being hacked, nothing for quite some time although attempts are made daily. I do have the site completely backed up and the database is backed up and downloaded to my desktop daily. So even if hacked we can restore pretty quickly and easily with minimal looses.
