Feyi,

You're indeed safe. If you click on the link shown in Google Chrome, you'll see that it's a false alarm.

Having said that, we have traced the "malware" to a code in the current site template and that is being addressed.

Thanks for the diligence

Just can't manage to log in to NVS as frequently as I would wish. Either the page cannot be displayed or Server could not be found or the site you are looking for is temporarily unavailable: Contact the Admin.

This has been going on for about 3 days now and it usually occurs between 7.00 am (Paris time, when I used to try and log in) and 12.00 noon. After that I usually then succeed.

I have tried Opera, thinking the problem was from Internet explorer, no show. Even google could not open the site at those hours.

Please, help. Those are the times I usually have to log in to NVS

Mikky Jagga,

Have you experienced this in the past 48 hours? An issue with frontpage load-speed was fixed 2 days ago.

That is Google Chrome's terminology for clearing your Cache.

In Firefox, Tools==>clear private data ==>check Cache
In IE, Tools==>Internet Options ==>delete temporary files
In Chrome Tools==>clear browsing data
