Oh god I really did not realise, I thought thay it was adiquate. Have started to download AVG.

Thanks for the info and apologises if I came across as being funny, was just v embarressed that something I had posted had caused any problems

No problems, it's important that you get yourself some protection installed and as you can see it does not have to cost the earth! If you have any problems ask on the Techie Stuff Board, where you will get help.

Great stuff that this was spotted & shared with everyone - thanks Belair.

The original thread no longer has the link details in it so no more worries there

This cloud does have a silver lining... (I try to be a glass half full kinda gal!) - as espresso has mentioned, have a wander over to the Techy Stuff Board & just double check that you are having safe [strike]sex[/strike] comping You know you need protection nowadays as you never know what you could pick up whilst browsing an innocent little website that some nasty bored hacker has had his way with! :eek:

/me slips into her little rubber comping suit to go enter some more comps :rotfl:

Spyware doctor but don't worry I wont be posting any more comps.

Hi Liuhut, please don't let this experience put you off posting more comps - we really like it when people find new comps for us all so thanks very much. One of the things I like about this forum is how peeps look out for each other, particularly if the site looks dodgy or is likely to be a spam generating one. I certainly don't hold anything against you.

Best of luck comping in 2008.

No offence meant to you Laura, as previously posted, we all look out for one another.
It's amazing that I spotted the trojan at all, I'd been celebrating down the local club and could barely see straight.:D :beer:

Thanks Belair & mpython. I was concerned people would think that I had somthing to do with it IFKWIM or if it had effected pc's.
Will be a lot more careful in future, have all my new software downloaded now as well!!!
Hope you have recovered now Belair, I dont think I would have been able to turn the Pc on let alone use it after a night out!!!

I downloaded the AVG as well & it just said blah blah while opening file temporary internet something or other a threat was found :eek: so I sent it to quarantine or sommat, so what does that mean then? I just opened a dodgy web page or what?

This was not your fault and you should not give up because of one thing going wrong.
I had a trojan that hijacked my addresses and it was not from your post. Whilst it is unfortunate [STRIKE]!!!![/STRIKE] nasty things happen and hopefully we are all wiser.
Good luck and a happy new year.
