So does that mean I need to find another site giving me similar info?
Or is it something that can be got around?
how come it's now riddled with errors that weren't apparent before?

I found it via google ages ago and it's never given me any hassle until this popped up.

That's how it happens, sites are clean, then the web server is exploited and malware is sneaked in. On a lot of browsers you wouldn't know any different.

Exactly.

Which makes me laugh when somone comes on here telling us how they dont 'need' an av as theyre so safe with how they use their computers

Fact is, NO ONE who uses the internet is 100% safe

Anyways...............England to win on penalties..............

On a lot of browsers those exploits wouldn't matter, mind you.

As an experiment I used a machine with no protection for ages. Didn't get a single virus or anything. I'm one of the ones who believes that if you're sensible you're generally ok. Doesn't do any harm to do the odd scan, but I'm almost disappointed to wait for the scan to finish, only to find nothing.

Thanks

I'm using Firefox 3.6.4 and prefer it to IE so I'm staying with it.

Weegie - whereabouts are you? I was brought up in Rutherglen. Moved to EK in 1988.
