    Hi :)

    When I try to access the "Introduction to Astronomy, Want a telescope" thread in the the Astronomy & Space forum google chrome blocks the page and throws up a malware warning telling me that my computer will be infected if I access that page. Anything else I've glanced at in that forum is fine.

    I'm not particularly tech savvy.
    Could someone who is look and see if there are any nasties in there or if it's just me and my laptop :o

    The image in the opening post, under "1.7 The celestial co ordinate system", seems to be the problem.

    I don't want to check :o
    I ran a virus scan after the last time and it picked up one of those fake alert trojan things.

    Has the pic Insect Overlord mentioned been removed?

    The warning I was getting from Chrome is no longer appearing now that the image from the suspect website has been removed.
