ok, i saw deacon blue support simple minds on thursday and are now wanting to look at their official site. when i searched for it on google and clicked the link something odd happened. a message flashed up saying i was at risk and do i want to download antivirus software, i didnt of course. it then claimed to do an online scan and said i had been infected by spyware and a trojan. i got rid of it by going to taks manager and ending task. i have since done a full scan with my own antivirus kaspersky 2009 and it found nothing. so do you think something has happened to their site or could i be infected? it never even got as far as their site. so what has happened?

i didnt want to give the link incase it caused someone a problem and i got accused of being up to no good. so i figured people wanting to help will use a search engine to find it.0
