Fiat India website has a virus !!!

The Fiat India website has a virus. It shows an alert with Firefox. With IE, it opens but I get an alert for 2 viruses from Avira, my antivirus software.

Fiat India - What is going on????

Is this an industry first from Fiat?

They don't want people visiting their website and getting frustrated with the delay in bringing on their new cars.

Opens like a charm at my end.

Avira comes into the picture only with IE. Did you try with Firefox or IE?

It works with IE, but the antivirus software gives 2 popups. Do you have an antivirus software?

So you figured out my name eh?

Must be. It's an IT company, the place from where I am accessing the website.
