Default Gunbroker site - be careful - potential virus

I am not 100% certain but it appears that Gunbroker.com may be attempting to attack older versions of Internet Explorer by forcing you to some site which will supposedly upgrade it. The site was not a Microsoft site so I am skeptical and believe this to be a ploy to give your computer a virus.

The machine I am on is Windows 7 running IE9. I would suggest closing out Explorer with the Ctl-Alt-Del command if it tries to redirect you and use an alternative browser such as FireFox or Chrome for GB.
