Virus On Forum, Or...? Hello,
I received a Google-Alert that someone on the Fprum here has answered a Query of mine.
As usual, it gives a link on to go directly to it.
Using Thunderbird.
What opens up is a graphic that says:
Wanted
Web page required
Desperately seeking PHP or HTML
Must not be missing or broken
Straight wev site (31) seeks long lost web page for good times
etc.......
Photo please
and a phone number.
I couldn't copy the graphic to paste here for some reason.
Anyone know anything about this ?
Is it something on my PC, or something on this Forum ? Or,...?
Shouldn't the MS virus program that I have apparently running caught it ?
How do I get rid of this, please (using Windows 7 and Thunderbird) ? (and prevent it from coming back ?)
(it has been very nice just to click on these Google Alerts that come into my Thunderbird IN box tgo see what the replies are)
Thanks,
Bob | My System Specs |

What I would suggest happened is that someone answered your thread and then the post was deleted by either the user or the forum team.
