OK, my virus scanner says there is a trojan in someway related to this site, and aborts the connection. Also another piece of protection software said there was malware last night. Anybody else getting this?

| This will be due to some form of rogue coding in a few of the ads on this site. |

You'd only get a virus if you downloaded something or clicked on the ads.
You may get a warning about them though.

Thats actually not true.
Just by displaying the ads theyre automatically running the flash code embedded in them, and thus any rogue or virus code will be automatically run with it. Clicking them only serves to run simple HTML hyperlinking. |
