You could of course click on the link kindly supplied by DS and see what happens.  Then you will see what we are seeing.  whistle:
Firefox blocks it...

I'm not doubting that you lot are experiencing a problem...  ::)

The question is where did it come from and what are we going to do about it...?

Meanwhile am squinting hard to read a 7 inch screen which, whilst adequate for the purpose for which it was originally purchased, is not pleasant for continued use.
We all sympathise that you are stuck sitting there on your tiny 7-incher.

Firefox did not block it for me (I am using the latest Firefox 3.5 btw) but as I said it seems to be an attempt to get people to buy some "new and improved all in one protection" by demonstrating their ability to infiltrate our screens. Anyway I am now back on the PC (Vista) and all seems normal.
Tried it on IE yesterday too and that is still showing hooooge and distorted avatars, double vision on the written word and generally f*cking up the whole VP. No idea why ~ thought we you had solved that problem weeks ago. It doesn't happen in Firefox. rubschin:

Anywhoo if you can't now connect on the link and I am not getting it on screen perhaps Firefox or AVG have sorted it for us.
