Oh my…I haven't gotten anything like that at all, and I sure hope it's not happening to others.  I'll alert Mark to the situation…he knows more about these things than I do.  Thanks for the head's up.

No issues here. I have done a complete scan of the server no issues.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Some editions of Microsoft software thought Firefox was a virus.    Confused

Well, that's good to hear.  The last thing I want is for anyone to pick something up from the site, and Mark is excellent at preemptively keeping us in good health!

Seluyar, hopefully that will go away for you as well.
