Can anyone enlighten me on this?
I get a warning from Avast anti-virus only here and only in the Rose Tattoo thread.
Avast tells me to "press disconnect and it will block the download"
Here is the link Avast pops up:

I run avast as well & received the same warning Rosie-I aborted the connection-rest of the thread seems fine

Hmmm, I get no warnings or alerts from McAfee (but that doesn't always give me peace of mind!!).

Looking at the page-code there's a curious cz-warez.info proxy call in one of the posts embedded in the image link (although the image itself doesn't actually display).

Perhaps that's what's causing the AV alert? If so, deleting the image link might fix it.

Cheers

Just to test, and be on the safe side, I've deleted the image link from that post (the image doesn't display anyway).

Let me know if you still get the alert/warning in that Topic. If so, it must be something else and I'll restore the post-links.

Cheers

From memory I think Avast may have mentioned an I-Frame.
But that's fixed it thanks guys.
Fast, professional service I must say.
