Malware

Had to go hunting - in Chrome and the sports last page - to raise the gremlin. (ZA, priority [MS Security present but disabled])

Had forgotten how fast Chrome was, or rather IE8?9 (shelled) has become very slow recently for theO.
A Roboform clash drove me away from the Rainbow; fixed?

I would love to know what that means^

Under the principle of
Try Everything Once Except Incest and Morris Dancing
I like to stay uninhibited

I had found the clash of Roboform (form filled from passwords, very useful) with Chrome(Rainbow) drove me away.
It now seems to be fixed.
One of my browsers is Slimbrowser which shells IE, effectively is just IE as the engine.
Guess where I got S/b from !!

I'm using Chrome, PC, with MSE, nothing flagged so far.

I was also using Chrome/PC/AVG earlier today with no problems. May have been a temporary glitch with the AV software.

If such a link exists on the site, I haven't deleted anything, and if it has gone away itself that implies it was a temporary glitch.

Too late! Much too late!
Hence I am immune.

It was still happening when I left work after half 5...but I am back in Mac land now and there is no sign of it (down with PCs, boo)

It's not unheard of for malware to make it into the software that forums run on and then onto the computers of those who use it.

Hmm, nothing on my end so far. I just checked with an XP/MSE laptop.

I also ran this site and not606.com through http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/(type web address here) and it didn't flag up any problems with either.

Using google.com when you type in not606.com it says "this site may harm your computer" but it doesn't say that for theoptom.com

Some more detailed info:

If anyone else notices anything, post it here. Thanks.

Clicking through to this makes terrifying reading though,

Though before pressing submit on the above I checked my own site and found a similar horror story.
