Is this forum really the place for virus warnings? I was under the mistaken belief that this was a motoring forum, not a part of PC World. Surely if I want to know about the latest viruses, I'll go to Symantec or McAfee. I don't want to see this forum cluttered up with junk that just gets in the way.
So please, no more virus warnings.

FP,
I think we'll let HJ, Martyn and the masses be a judge of that. The information shared here on the subject of virus problems is a darn site more useful than loads of the content recently.
The other point is here many know who to trust. Go onto a new computer forum and you are at risk from all the wind-ups, you know like the ones we have here from time to time about car info.
In starting a new thread "against" previous virus topics you actually compound the problem.

Hang on a minute FP.
If the chap that owns the site wants to post messages about virus's then I think he has the right to do that.
After all, you wouldn't go to a pub and tell the landlord which beer he should be selling would you?

Isn't that what CAMRA's all about then? ;-)

Well you could always use these forums
They have motor related sections for everything, so you just talk about what you want to talk about!

Given that we all use a computer to view this site, it doesn't seem that unreasonable to mention a bug which has the potential to prevent us using it.
You don't have to read a thread that's marked up 'Virus Warning' - just ignore it if if it's of no interest to you. Personally, I'm grateful for any help that's going.

Same here - I found it both pertinent and very interesting.

Points taken. However, as viruses are almost a daily occurance, isn't there a danger that viruses will take over, relegating motoring questions to the minority?

Have a look at my thread, also entitled 'virus warnings'. It was begun in direct response to your point, and might save you further effort.

Fair question FP, but as with so many other topics that arise, they get an airing then they fade away and, as a rule, if a topic re-occurs that's been covered in depth before, then someone usually says - 'see previous thread........' But - fair points raised on both sides.

its better that we learn about these viruses than the viruses take hold and we couldnt even get on the web to look at forums.
