Fun stuff.

I'm not a programmer, but I have to think its unnecessary to use IE. There has to be plenty of browser scripts or code online for this sort of application.
I rebooted in "Safe Mode with Networking" and downloaded the latest free version of Malwarebytes and ran a full scan which removed it. I'm not sure if TSS removed the infected site or not.
