The PRR HS web site has been infected for quite a while with malware. Does anyone here know when they might get their problems resolved?

Good question!
I was just about to visit there to see if I could get a back issue of The Keystone, but with all the warnings that popped up, I just backed out asap.
I just checked it: www(dot)prrths(dot)com and had no problems with the site.
In fact I renewed my membership through the site about 2 weeks ago, no issue then.
the only warnings I ever got there was from a Java script that runs with the front page photos (my settings are set to warn for scripts)
That is interesting, I still get a warning page using Google Chrome, but, IE will bring it up. Hmmmm.
I'm using Firefox and get:
