Error Message - Anyone else?

I use Firefox - for about a week now - I get this error message every time:

1) - I log in - immediately after entering my Forum name and p/word and hit log in.

2) - I press "advanced" when making a post.

Error message reads:

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.


Anyone else having this problem?

And if it is just me - any ideas of what may be causing it and/or a solution?

Delete and reload Firefox maybe?

    Thought it best if I updated this thread rather than leave my question open.

    So ...

    Looks like it was just me involved - and I think I found the cause via a trojan of some kind which had infiltrated my PC - traced via following some of the excellent advice on the Techie here - it was affecting me here - and even more noticeably by diverting any and all google searches.

    Fingers crossed - it looks as though I have it quarantined.

    ADMIN: This thread could be closed imho.
