Colin, cannot see any adverts showing at the moment.

I had a warning about the virus last week, but havent been online since then. I was just moving the mouse to click off GR and it brushed over the adverts and the virus was picked up immediately and blocked.

Agree with the majority on here saying GR should post something if members are contacting them with concerns.

Ta, Colin, all adds have stopped now, but the "trojan was on here at 5.30ish this morning, and so were the adds, so at least GR have done something! Great.

Adverts are still there. I have FR bingo one at the top and an Open University one on the left as I'm writing this.

Hi Ann :)

I agree with you, An announcement is very important on this occasion.

I had noticed there were no adverts showing at this time, is anyone else seeing no adverts ? At least they are looking into the cause of this and accepting that there was a problem.

I would like to see a courtesy message placed on the boards with further advice from Genes themselves.

Colin :)::)

How many people had warning of a virus and who put the advert on the site GR or hacker?

AnninGlos Report 4 Feb 2008 12:16

so why can't they put up a general message?

Thanks Colin, glad the problem has been sorted.
One way and another it has caused a lot of trouble on here.

Thanks you for your email. Please accept my apologies if this virus alert has caused you any worry.

There was an advert on the site which was inviting people to download an application. At that point your anti-virus software picked this up and warned you of the various types of viruses that could be contained.

This advert has now been removed from the site.


Best regards,
