FYI

In the last couple of days I've twice been innocently browsing PH and have been diverted to a site classified as harmful by my virus software.

Last time (just now) the address was

http:// isqidtd. antongorbunov. com/ index.php? followed by a string of random letters and numbers

(few extra spaces to stop the link being active)

This could of course be something unrelated to PH but it has only happened while I've been on here. smile

Hmmm, go on google and search something random.

Click every link of the first page. Cross reference the pages that have opened to the google search results. Are they all correct or have they been divered to another spam site that wasn't on the google results page?

I also got directed to that problem last night.

It was in the "Where was I thread" just after Bill posted his latest picture.

AVG picked it up straigth away though.
