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.

No. But the shipyard page is safe?

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...

There is an embedded link.

Where? I can't see any external link on either the page or the code.

TerryRussell · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2009, 22:16:39 »

You haven't followed all the links in all the linked code and style sheets, then. Nor reviewed cookie contents, nor.....

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2009, 22:43:30 »

But it's all internal on the server; there are no links to third parties- except youtube.

Does the offical website of Ship Simulator 2008 have a virus because I keep getting a warning of a trojen horse from the anti-virus that blocks it.

TerryRussell · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2009, 23:23:29 »

All is now fixed. www.shipsim.com should no longer cause the problem.

Sorry for the disruption.
