Default Site Busted: Quick Fix! IE7.0 Users Only

UPDATE (8/02/08, 1:10pm ET): ALL REFERENCES TO SITEMETER HAVE NOW BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SITE SO THIS FIX SHOULDN'T BE NECESSARY ANYMORE.

Thanks to others for getting this information and the detailed list below! Anyone access from a non-IE7.0 computer browser can use this on their own browsers until the problem is resolved.

Hopefully this issue will be resolved in short order by sitemeter.com which is the real culprit here.

QUICK FIX! QUICK FIX! QUICK FIX!

If you're suffering these problems in IE7, add "*.sitemeter.com" to your list of restricted sites. That will force IE to reject the bad code. I was having the same problems and now they're gone.

Procedure:

1. Open menu item: Tools...Options
2. Click "Security" tab
3. Select "Restricted Sites"
4. Click "Sites" button
5. Under "Add this website to this zone", enter "*.sitemeter.com" without the quotes
6. Click "Add" button
7. Close windows using "Close" or "OK", not "Cancel".

After that, and without a restart, Sitemeter's thwartage is thwarted!

BTW, junkscience.com is also affected.
Similar issue at many major internet sites that IP refer to sitemeter

Phew! Thank goodness for this fix. I thought something was wrong with my computer. It made me realize just how addicted I am to this site!

Hopefully that quick fix won't be necessary anymore -- I've removed all references to sitemeter from the pages of this site. It may take a while for the cache to clear on some pages, but all of the more trafficked pages should now be in the clear -- plse post here if you're still having problems.

Thanks to Mav, Kosty and AV_Integrated for their help getting to the bottom of this.

No trust me, when you get banned you will know it. It will tell you exactly. I would know.
