    Sorry to bump the thread, thanks for the comp Weeowens just clicked on the direct entry and Microsoft Security Essentials flagged it up as a trojan blackhorse. Never had a problem with viruses on this site before it must of been hacked or something. Anyhow just thought Id warn everyone :)

    I've just had the same with my anti-viruses. Even when you go through the website to enter rather than through the direct entry link.
    Anchor yourself to the foundations of everything you love.

    Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:

    Kaspersky is also reporting it as a Trojan.

    However, it is listing it as a Heuristic script, which means some code on the page is exhibiting virus like behaviour. It is more than likely an advert being served on the page is either infected or is doing something it shouldn't to the page.

    If the same virus checkers let people on to the page in a few hours it's more than likely an issue with an advert rather than the page itself. I'll check again in the morning.

    If you've had the warning, your PC won't be infected - it's just the virus checker warning you the page was infected and it won't let you there. If you're concerned, clear your cache and you'll be fine.
    Competition wins:
    2010 - approx £450. 2011 - approx £800. 2012 - approx £300. 2013 - nothing so far!
  • @evanscycles on twitter have said more likely the browser, than their site.. but looking into it anyway.
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)
  • compers should use the noscript firefox addon for security as well as up to date antivirus eg avira which is free

    I entered using google chrome. There was a warning page but if u proceed with it, norton didnot detect anything harmful. Just scanned my whole computer as well and its all clean.
  • I tried in IE and FF and still got:
