Thanks Ditty 
as you know I got the warning threat as well
prevention is better than having to remove the horrible malware infections
Nice one Ditty, As I said on Facebook, I had just posted in it and nothing came up for me...Gawd knows!
I am running the full AVG package (cos when I was on AVG free I got Malware infected)
thinking about it, it may only be the person who was unfortunate enough to select & post the dodgy pic that will be infected... but then why would AVG get all doom & gloom on me about it?
I dunno!
Hopefully there is something on the tech side that Lori & Co can look at to see if there is a prob
Oh dear. 
Nothing comes up when I go in it... Nothing usually gets into your system unless you click on a link does it? Not very savvy sorry..but how can you get a virus just from looking at the pics? Sorry to be ignorant and daft.
I have posted a warning in the thread, Ditty

Unfortunately you can get Malware just by going onto an infected page!
It bypasses all the normal safety measures we have adopted... not clicking on dodgy links, not opening dodgy email attachments etc!
I hate Malware with a passion....
I got a great big warning message from Google (chrome)
Baz.. I don't know!
If everyone just stays out of it for now.. it may not be necessary.
it would be such a shame for Scatts, although I am sure people would be happy to repost their congrats

Oh heck.... I have had nothing coming up when I have popped in there.... and I have my firewall etc up...... Re-posting would be OK..... but Trouble is how do we know which post is suss..... so that it doesn't get posted again
I didn't get anything but I'm running a Malaware scan now 
dunno temps!
I just freaked out & shut everything down & booted up AVG & Spybot & screamed at them to protect me! 
No overreaction going on here
Are you at work Temps?

It's not your fault though Baz, Can ya not find out who posted the offending pic and get them to remove that rather than the whole thread?
the infected site is wonderclipart.com
I didnt get the warning while on page 2 but clicked back to read from when I had last looked so it is in a pic on page 1 somewhere but onced the warning page comes up you cant read anymore on the said page so cant see which post it is
hopefully Lori can sort it for us when she logs in

Ah, that explains why I didnt get the warning, I only posted on the last page, and didnt read back.

Oooh, crikey! Thank you Ditty.
Baz it's best to just wait until Lori can do something. It's not your fault - it's the fault of the barstewards who infect these pictures and place them for unsuspecting people to use and spread the virus on

Could get Zaph to put his Biohazard suit on and go in there again....
I'm not going in there again....
AVG scares me when it gets all stern with me

I can't remember if I did or not What does the malware do please?
Not necessarily Temps, it might just mean you are not running any malware detection
