Thanks for that OBF - have removed the little demon - was probably my fault as it came up with a Cruise Survey to click onto - just shows how clever this spyware is nowadays.oldbluefox wrote:I feel sure it's nothing to do with the forum.

Yes - there were a few for 'Russian beauties' as well - which one of the modplods suscribes to that?Dark Knight wrote:Are these the adverts for Viagra, Horlicks and stana stair lifts?

I wasn't worried about the Russian beauties, but the mail order Ladyboys was a cause for concern

When I tried to log on here this morning I was taken to the Crow's Nest site. How did that happen?
