Oh! As I tried to find the picture over in your gallery I got a virus warning. (Thought you might want to know. I clicked "Simply Alan", then "Friends and family" - and then I got the "beeeeep".)

Huh? The image is located in the LJ gallery under Alan - friends only!

Ohhhhhh! Lovely, thanks so much!!!! :-)

No idea about the virus, it just said "bleep" and then my antivir spyware announced a trojan which I deleted at once. The only webpage I had open was yours, so I thought I'd rather tell you. (As I'm not very computer-experienced I don't know what it means and how viruses are linked to pics etc. Maybe it doesn't mean anything.)

Thanks so much.

I took the gallery off. It seems it's a problem with Coppermine being hacked lately. I went to their forum and what I read there truly pisses me off.

Although we've a virus scanner running day and night it didn't give us a warning and reading the threads in Coppermine's forum I guess it's also something to do with different browsers in use.

Odd thing's that we've the latest version of Coppermine running, the one the mods think to be clean...

That makes me cringe!!!

I then checked it with our virus scanner and it gives no such warning. I dunno.
Will investigate further as I don't want a blasted virus on our sites anywhere
