Try this...Install Adblock Plus, if you haven't already, and whichever filter subscription list you select (I use Easylist), add the offending address to your filter list. This bug infects websites that use mixed encryption, and fileinxt.com needs to be blocked from displaying content. I noticed that when I visit an infected page using IE8, I am notified that the page displays mixed content, and asked if I want to display all or just encrypted content. If I select encrypted only, I don't get re-directed. I am recommending this because I did it and IT WORKS!
