Subject: AVG threat alert

This morning when I click on the "Links" in the upper right corner of this page I get an AVG Treat Alert. Anyone else experiencing it? All the other positions, "Find a Shipmate", "Reunion info", work okay.

Ric, I use avast also and as I said above, AVAST picked it up. And yes, the database has been updated!

Maybe because I go through a firewall. But still no indication from AVAST that there is a problem

I've removed the Google ads (I think I got them all) which were serving up the page redirector trojan. Sorry about that... you'd think Google would do a better job with security!!!

I think it was the shameless Seattle Slut advertising its wares on the net that caused it......A picture of Ric in a grass skirt with his well cultivated belly is enough to gag a maggot.....and when he posted the ad that he was available for a price....well hell, any virus scanner would have burped!

Thanks, Don, for your time and efforts. I usually just click the link on my way over to Rontini's site when I'm finished here. Not being very computer literate, I wasn't sure what was happening. Good on ya!!!!

Oh, and to let you know, I don't care what "Wishbone" Clear says about ya.

Ahhh hell, I just tried it again and it showed red. The infection list reads.."Exploit Script Injection 357". Don't know if that's a help from this end or not.

It's all Ric and Stoops fault for bringing their slut wars on here.
