Since lunchtime today I have been getting a virus warning when I log onto theoptom - apparently there is a link somewhere on the site to "not606" which may contain malware.

Nope. Not had that one yet.

I did update my antivirus this morning, so it may just be that it is being hysterical.

I have just relogged to test: clear.

Re-try or see if your a/v will offer you a 'friend' label for it.

I have opted for "proceed anyway" and it seems to have calmed down.

You both proceeded??? You fools... do you have no idea what viral content this site has... for example, I have not been able to speak for 3 days due to Viral Laryngitis...

Madness... utter madness...

Not606, as far as I am aware, was a sport discussion site which rose from the ashes of the BBC 606 discussion forum. It was/is entirely populated by ranting, vociferous loonies, so I am fairly sure that any link to it on this site would have been roundly ignored by me.

I can see your Viral laryngitis Hums, and raise you a big fat tonsil

I've been getting the same - Using Google Chrome as a browser on a PC with AVG paid for as the AV software.
