Warning!

A couple of days ago I posted a link to a sound file. Specifically Wile E. Coyote's Lump Massager.

Some one here clicked on it and their virus scanner told them there was a trojan horse in it! I didn't notice as I have a Mac and viruses are usually PC specific.

If you've clicked on that link you might want to scan your drive and make sure you haven't been infected.

Sorry, people.

Thanks, Rob.

You know, sharing a virus with you sounds kind of - romantic.

Romantic isn't the word I'd use, sarahh.

That explains why the page wouldn't open.... My anti virus locked it out.....

More.

Sent an e-mail to the site and got this back.

That's impossible - Trojans cannot be transported in WAV files. They are
non executable data files.

Personally, I have never liked McAfee... I prefer ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
I used to be a big Symantec fan until about three years ago when their
software turned into crap.

Even if somehow that file did get corrupted, I can't do anything about it.
I no longer have access to the server that is hosting my site, and I can't
get hold of anybody to fix it! That bugs me big time, because I have a few
updates and additions I want to do to it.

Anyhow, that's where we stand currently. I no longer know enough about the computer field to comment, but I know we have to be careful.

Don't you use a computer condom?

I can't afford one and am too honest to steal one.
