I followed a comp link last night and my system warned me about a virus.
On checking the security logs, I see it was a trojan.:eek:
I have reported the post and hope it can be checked before any damage is done.
The comp heading is:
"E 04/01/08 London Theatre Break + accom"

Hi all. It was me that posted that Comp. I only found it as I had googled comps to try and find a few to post to give some back so to speak.
I really do hope that you all dont think that it was me trying to spread something like this.
Sorry if its caused any upset.
