The culprit could be hiding anywhere from "signatures" to "avatars", hidden iFrames.

As suggested, the site should be taken offline, or DNS pointed to a "Sorry" page.
This is not taken in "the wrong way".
My advice to you and anyone else receiving the warnings, is "to log out"!!!!

TRF is not holding you hostage to log in, nor is it doing nothing!!

All i'm asking is to keep the antagonism to yourself until the fix has been resolved!
There's more to it than you can see or fathom.

My post was an alternative, not a directive!!
