Thanks Walter.  Can you check and see if the site is doing it now?

Looks all good now, it was intermittent at the time though. If you can't find any problems on your server check your A records, I've seen cases where an additional A record is added which hosts a fraudulent server which simply retrieves the page from your site then adds the malicious code to it.

Incidentally I was looking for coin holders at the time, similar to the ones that auction houses use (that come in sheets of various sizes that you cut out) but PVC-free, any chance you'll be stocking these in the future?

The PP site is still on a shared host so if it's been compromised at that level there's nothing I can do about it.  Perhaps it's time to move to a dedicated host!

As to the holders I am not sure what it is you're describing.  I'll talk to PPH about it.
