My McAfee picked up Malware this site then zapped a Trojan.

I sent E to GRU. Their reply below and my E below that.

"Thanks for reporting this problem. I have passed this on to our technical team to have a look at.

Please bear with us while we work to resolve this.

Best regards,


Alex Brett

===============================

Message
============
Subject : I have a question not in the FAQs
virus infection. Whilst on thi site last night my McAfee informed me of Malware and then that it had zapped a Trojan. Shouldn't you be informing people that your site is infected? Ron
