Works fine. none of the links on the link page work - you have to copy & paste. I would suggest she sets up a referral thing with vetUK to get 5% back.

It works for me ... but literally a 2nd after opening the site Avast popped up with "Trojan horse, thread has been detected"  :shocked: I've not got anything downloading or open except for Purrs and Facebook so it must have been the website.

Sorry JS - but I have to warn people about clicking on that website now.

I seem to have a virus which I can't get rid of and the only connection is clicking on the website  :scared:

Oh Den, I'm so sorry....

NO MORE TESTS, THANKS!! :shy:

It must be the Freewebs site but I've no idea how to remedy it.

Mark, that's a good idea. Will talk to Nicky about it. :)

Would be safer to delete the link in the first post  ;)

There is a link on CatChat - maybe an idea to disable it?

was the webs.com site a previous one? (as opposed to freewebs one)

I don't think the site is any threat myself, probably a false positive from the anti-virus, maybe a tracker cookie from the free web hosting service.

hth

Google checker doesn't like it,

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freewebs.com%2Fblackpoolcatsincare%2F

it is very likely the hosting site or ad's on the page though

So is there anything that can be done, Rob?  :scared:

Mark, it's been Freewebs since I made it three years ago. ;)

Thanks Rob. Do you reckon an email to them would be wise?
