    Nothing triggered my AV and I've got f-secure.
    I use F-Secure and it found this

    Trojan-Downloader.JS.Agent.et (virus)

    Trojan-Downloader (Generic Description)

    A trojan-downloader is usually a standalone program that attempts to hiddenly download and run other files from remote web and ftp sites. Usually trojan downloaders download different trojans and backdoors and activate them on an affected system without user's approval. A trojan-downloader, when run, usually installs itself to the system and waits until an Internet connection becomes available. After that it attempts to connect to a web or ftp site, download a specific file or files and run them.

    I'm more worried at the people who clicked and didn't report a virus...I would suggest their AV is not doing it's job and they are now infected.

    ps..oh nvm...was going to ask if a person can be held liable by sending someone to a website that contains a virus, but since it's Cojak, she's forgiven.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              How jolly nice of you to ask dear Xog !

              Alas it seems that they have somewhat ground to a shuddering halt.

              I've tried to analyse this and my only conclusion is that I tend to write when I'm out of contract, and feeling miserable and sociopathic. That's when they emerge I think.

              However, since I've been in contract for the last 3 years, I've not been in the mood as much, if at all. Sure, I've had a few lucid moments and thought "that would be a good idea to work on", then World of Warcraft calls and I saunter off in to "the other world".

              But there are still there...bubbling and seething just below the surface, biding their time.

              I wonder sometimes if we write the stories, or whether they write us.

              Us being a collection of thoughts, hopes ,fears and nightmares, that emerge in a chaotic mess, with the only input being our brain acting as an indirect dictionary / english teacher to give them shape and understanding.

              Who drives the writer ?

              But I do enjoy Bloggoth btw..Murder and the NHS Targets was particulary enjoyable and I think your obversations may have been chosen as policy...:-)
