Whenever I open any page on this site, even the first one, my anti-virus program goes berserk, and tells me that one of the links/icons/whatever is a virus.

KS redirector, if I got it right.
(but may have copied that wrongly).

Mike, it seems OK now.

Oh, it was JS redirector, not KS.

I have recently changed over from AVG to Avast.
Having checked out many anti-virus programmes, both myself and via friends who are in that business, it is one of the best.

Oh, there is a free version for home use.

It also sorts out trojans (which that one was) and similar nasties.
And, boy, does it let you know when you go on a site that has any!

ive been using avast for a long time --i like it

also i can recommend zone alarms firewall--made by the same people who make checkpoint theres a free version but i think paying a few dollars for the full version has been worth it

a good free malware detector is http://www.malwarebytes.org/

at work we pay a fortune for mcafee enterprice antivrus software--but even mcafee has been unable to catch everything on time
so its better to use multiple programs

Hi Gang

I got that same warning, you are about to loose all you have worked for all your life, notice Made me feel it was best to close and run the anti virus. This was, I think, hapening for a couple weeks.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me and that you have it fixed

It is certainly OK now.
