Not too sure whether cause or effect, but the past few days I have been fighting off attempts to hack my PC through excellently copied but false ' Update your Adobe ' messages....I then have to shut down my PC to get rid of the screen....

This only happens here on PPRune....

A quick search of my H/D and a thorough Virus scan ( Norton and MS Essentials ) shows nothing and the only connection with PPRuNe that I can find is a Favicon file in the Temporary Internet Files which won't delete, and when I open it it is text rather than the usual favicon 'pictures'....

Should add that I'm currently in N'Djamena so anything is possible, but any ideas anyone, please, why this attempted virus attack happens just here on PPRuNe ??
