There is a problem. I think it is might be one of the adverts is linbking to a site that may be infected, but I can't be sure. That would explain why it only happens sometimes. I think the advert has been pulled off the cycle now.

So long as you have antivirus software installed, you should be OK.

Unfortunately, Rotterdam is a bit too far for me to roller-skate round to. Like 300 miles or so.

So please don't think that I can do anything about it, apart from notify people who are closer to it than me.

Just keep away from it for now, please. It may be nothing at all, just a malformed page. But it might be something of concern. Safety first! You don't need to go there, so please don't.

Wow! The third topic on this same issue.

Look at the html. There is nothing scary there. Nothing that will bite.

Terry, I wouldn't contradict any cautious notes from anyone; least of all you. However, there aren't any adverts on the homepage...
