Thanks for the heads up Dougie!

 

Yes, thanks Doug - simply can't be too careful anymore, sadly.

 

I notice the links are still live, could a mod please edit and break them before someone experiments.
Nev.

 

Done. Thanks Nev for drawing it to Staff's attention.

 

I god one of those emails. I clicked the link. I did not download the software, I went to the main site, checked their nameservers and sent a complant to the host. I went on about 10 minutes ago, ignoring the firefox warning, and server not found!
