There seems to be a virus affecting Roy Dennis' site. Be careful about trying to go there. I will report when I know more.

I guess we can say that this alert is now at an end.
ChloeB said: I have always used Windows Barbara but, like you, would not take chances with whatever system I used no matter what anyone said. I got the same attitude from a well known computer store when I was idly looking at Macs. He was trying to sell me one using that ploy. I said the same thing to him, just a matter of time. He wouldn't have it.

Yes Barbara and ChloeB, this seems to be a common misconception. The same applies to Linux; you wouldn't believe the number of 'geeks' who think Linux is immune to viruses 'because it's more secure than Windows'! Will Linux becoming more popular in the desktop and laptop/netbook market, interesting times are ahead.....Oh the price of celebrity ;-)
Once I get my Linux system(s) back up I shall be looking into virus protection as a matter of urgency!

Thanks all for the virus warnings about Roy's site. I haven't ventured there for some days, but I will check it out now. I also see no warnings by Google Search with 'Roy Dennis' as the search term.
I have just been to Roy's site and my antivirus software (Avast) doesn't flag up anything.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are experiencing slow performance on the site and have not run a full anti-virus scan in the last few days, it should be done now. I have done one this morning and so far, the site is much faster, although I have not done any uploading yet, so do not know how that will go. My McAfee found a trojan virus, with no name just 'Generic Downloader' stated on the report. Good luck! It could be that the trojan was from the RD site, but I thought I had run the virus scan when that happened.
