Thanks heavens for that, it was driving me bat**** last night. I wanted to contact one of the moderators but couldn't even do that. It seems to have sorted itself now.

I was wondering what was wrong with this forum. My AVG anti-virus software keeps flagging up threats whenever I exited from each forum thread. But it seems to have disappeared now.

I had a curious situation where AVG reported the virus "HTML/Framer" and blanked everything out when I visited the forum, but then when I went to the site it said there were "No reports of malware at bikeforums.net for the last 30 days".
Glad I can get my fix, er, I mean social interaction again

More often than not a bad update has to be rolled back and updates reinstalled where AVG is involved. Sometimes it takes more time for them to solve a problem.
