    Please edit out that link. Relayer is right. My McAfee went nuts when it attempted to install a Trojan virus.

  • Just curious - Did you click on the link before or after you read my warning?

    Sorry guys. My Trends Micro PC-Cillin didnb't alert me about anything. Link edited out and time to run a scan. Maybe because I use Pegasus Mail and Firefox?

  • It's JS/Stealus.gen and is used to mask the link in the address bar - beyond that it doesn't do anything.

    I normally wouldn't have clicked on it, but I wanted to see what Russ posted

    LOL
    Relayer - I read the thread up to LM's post (last post at the time) and stepped away for dinner.

    I came back from dinner and didn't reload the page, just clicked on the link for fun. So technically, I didn't see your post until it was too late. Normally, I don't invite problems by clicking on known sources of viruses.

    Anyway, no harm done, but I sure wish something could be done about all the garbage out there.
