When I try to get into another well know site with photos of trawlers on it (bet yez cannae guess which one!) my AVG goes ape and comes up with "infected site" namely "blackhole exploit kit (type2133)" and "high risk,active threats" and so forth.I'm running Eset as well but it doesn't seem to have a problem with it.Anybody else getting the same thing or is AVG telling me porkies? Never had anything like that on the other site before,or this one come to that...very strange.Just had a look again at AVG and it says it hasnae had any reports of anything nasty on that site during the last 30 days but it's still giving me the same warning about a threat...so where they got that from I don't know...even more puzzled now...I reckon it must be a false alarm...Davie widnae let nasty sneaky wee viruses ontae his site,he would have them banned afore ye could wink an eye !!

mine been saying norton has blocked a virus when i tried before so not only you!!!

Getting the same warning from AVG, canna get onto site at all. Also warning about that site being known for phishing, must be getting mixed up with fishing!

Cheers lads,I was wondering if AVG were trying a bit of scare mongering as my anti-virus has only a few more days to run and they were wanting me to cough up some mega wonga for a new subscription....naahhh,big companies like them dinnae resort to devious underhand tactics like that to make ye part wi' yer hard earned...sorry for being so cynical....aye right  lol

One of the servers has been hacked & infected apparently. Normal service will be resumed as as soon as possible as they say.

Plenty of free ones out there,like Avast. Have a look on Tucows.com/downloads.com .

I run Avira, it didn't pick anything up and a full scan didn't find anything, all appears OK for now !!!

[Martin Johns]

Is it running again now ? I still can't get onto it.

[3762dazzer]

All seems OK mate, clear your cache out that sorted it out for me last time

[Martin Johns]

Cheers Daz, back on now, although I had to uninstall AVG first as it wouldn't listen !
