    Very weird.
    You may think it legit but it may not be. You need to read the whole URL it could have an @ in it.

        Thanks (again) for the link. Ran the full scan and it's come out all clean.

        So still no idea what happened to my Barclays login this morning... but an AV, rootkit and malware scan have all come up clean.

                      The weird thing for me was that I didn't access the website through any link ... I typed it into the browser as I always do. The trojan or whatever it was appeared on the actual Barclays https website. All scans came through clean!
