A newby for perhaps a month, in the last 10 days I've received pm's from DavieTorr (2), Jazzrobin, Gafarozzman, and Desterman, the latter claiming my laptop was virus infected, likewise DavieTorr
Sorry, but I've not checked Jazzrobin and Gafarozzman's messages 
My PC/Mac runs ESET Nod 32 antivirus programmes and the XP Pro firewall; and until now there's no problem 
Being uncertain of my PC troubleshooting skills I have twice visited my local PC experts, who confirm the wisdom of not clicking on unknown or suspicious links
This morning I devoted another two hours trying to solve the problem including sending pm's to the 4 member's listed, none of whom are accepting pm's
At least one of the above are listed as "banned" or similar
I am about to refuse any pm's myself, and will check into the forum occasionally in hopes of learning the scourge has been solved
A pity as no doubt like myself there are many decent folk wishing to contribute who do not want to risk their time and software
