I too collected this virus on my PC several days ago. I e-mailed the moderator about it but it is still there.

I also did an Internet search and found it has been tracked down to some nasty minded creep in California (where else!). It has infected several other sites and while at first it was thought to be just a nuisance further digging suggests that it could be far less benign so look to your protection.

AVG, (free download), manages to scoop it up but some others do not seem to so be warned and take care.

Erik,

It seems to be the front page, certainly AVG flags it as soon as I click the icon for the SCO front page.

There are a lot of people who think Norton is, shall we say, rather pants. Try downloading AVG and give it a go, if you don’t like it then it uninstalls with no problem. Go to the eBay Community “HTML & Technical pages”, there is a pinned posting from “cuddly-hippo” that gives good step-by-step guidance on exactly what to do.

This has been going on too long, it is time the people hosting this site earned their keep and did a clean up.

I’ve reloaded the home page and associated images, does anyone still get the virus warning (don’t forget to refresh your browser when checking otherwise you’re viewing the image from your browser’s cache memory) ?

Yup! I’ve just had a really good hunt through my PC and all looks nice & clean again.

Page loading speed has also improved by something like a factor of 10 so thanks & well done!
