I think there's a virus on the 'Rocket Man' page.

Has the page been removed? The last time I looked at it my computer got a virus and it took two and a half years for me to get back on line. I tried talking to various people about it, they either looked at me and laughed (I don't like being laughed at and neither does anyone else, do don't do it)or didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I'm sure this has happened to loads of people.

Do you know anything about it?

Given the title, do you mean the personal space page of someone on the site called "Rocket Man"? There isn't one with exactly that name showing up in search.

Hello SEF,

I'm just going to check these out again. I was looking at them from the WW2 view, but I find it easier using 'alabaster' in hoo too view, so I'll look now! smiley - hug

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to find those post numbers for me. What did you do to find them?

They are user (U) numbers not post numbers.

The page for finding things is <./>search</.> (but the conversation option has been deliberately broken because of the heavy server load). You can still look for people or pages though.

Thanks. I'm at work at the moment so I will check those out at home. Wouldn't want to give the work computers a virus.

I've just decided not to go anywhere near them. It could also have had something to do with this. You need to be careful around these areas anyway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F97203?thread=206425

Just to reassure you, ChiKiSpirit, there won't be a virus on pages here. Any virus you may experience will have come from elsewhere.

Kind regards,

Jimster

Thank you for telling me that, Jimster.
That puts my mind at rest.

Have you got a virus checker on your computer? There are many free ones you can download and there are loads of other sites out there that are very good for finding solutions to persistent viruses, trojans and other spyware.

Of course I have.
Do you have any seahorses?
