Is this true irrespective of the previous claim of the <script> beign
the decider?

(Does it need to contain a <script> and be in a 'bad' directory? Or
someother combo?)

I don't suppose you could list several examples of both cases?

Have you tried multiple browsers on the work machine? Which browsers
(and versions) have you tried? What is the OS on the machine?

I don't suppose you could try taking the work machine home to try it
from there (so as to see if it is a network issue or machine issue.)
