Sumats up John, when I clicked on that link, a page came up showing, sorry the page has been removed.
So has one of the Mail reporters dropped a clanger and been led up the garden path with a scam.

Re: Virus

I think this Virus is to attack tomorrow(or the protection from it ceases tomorrow)...so it might be worthwhile checking again then Sue.
I have already checked mine today and so far(fingers crossed) it is OK.
