My ITWACS-system just went active again!

It is again due to "planetsmilies is attemting to install malware on your computer" and it was when I was reading in the welcoming thread by Gyps.

The same smiley holding the flag was posted there. If you look at its URL, it is from that site. It shouldn't be able to install anything on your computer just from the image, so maybe your computer is warning you that the site is potentially dangerous.

Yes, probably any welcome topic is going to give you that message, if it has the scottish flag smiley in it.

I'll talk to Elaine and see about uploading it to somewhere safer so she can keep using it. :)

Oops! I hadn't noticed this until Sylvia alerted me to it.   :-[
I wonder why? I've been using that for a couple of years.
Thank you Sylvia, I'll use your link in future.
I now need to work out how to link my signature smiley   :eh?:

No need to change that.
It's linked from a completely different website (anchoredbygrace.com) so I don't think there's a problem with that one. :)

So it is all caused by a scottish flag smiley?
Darn, then that malware might try to make my computer independent!  ;D

And Pynedor is right off course, it's just a warning I got. But I'll execute a pre-emptive strike on that site anyway.
