Hello Admins,
yesterday I have got an unpleasent surprise by my anti-virus Programme.
It has found a malware named "HEUR/HTML.Malware" during the visit of your web page.
Have got it by surfing the "Personal Photographs" topic.
In the meantime I have quarantined and killed it.

Thanks for the info, Peppermint Peppy -- it's always worth pointing out something like that. However, it could be a "false positive." Anti-virus programs often get it wrong, so I'm not overly concerned based on just one report. Now, if several people reported the same thing, then I'd be more worried.

I don't suppose you happen to remember which page you were on? That 'Personal Photos' thread is a very long one, and although I can run through quickly checking things, it's better to do extensive checks on the actual page in question. Maybe your anti-virus program has a log entry about it it? That might be helpful too.

Hi Keith,
the virus chose this thread.
"C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\tmp.edb.
I hope you've got right,regarding the "false positive".
Apart from that I was informed by the AVP during the visit of the last or second last page of this topic..
