Last week before I went off on my hols, I had a quick look on here, looked on the animated gifs page, and since have had a computer riddled with virus and trojan horses that i can't remove. I'm not going to go and check on the page but checking the logs, PH was the only place I really visited that day!

Just a heads up. Give me another week I may have found a way to get rid of it, unless anyone has some suggestions frown

it may have been another page, but it was a PH page. Prior to that visit to PH, no virus, as I closed down the browser window, alerts galore.

Would be interested to know which page it is.

It is most likely caused by an embedded image in a thread, though would have suspected a fair few more people to complain if that was the case.

The servers are free from any virus and thus only a third party link or embed would cause this - I will keep my eye out though to see if anything is acting weirdly on the site.

Surely even IE isn't that insecure?
