Thank you Garreg Ddu,

Whilst it is appreciated that you made a warning, it would be equally appreciated if you did not post links to executable files, especially those taken from spam/phishing emails.

There are plenty of people out there who get caught by these things by blindly clicking links, and we must not encourage that at all.

Sorry about the ".exe" left in the URL - I forgot I wasn't in my "other" incarnation on another site where the URLs are not followable on open forums.

I promise to be a good boy in future...

Looks like the web-site hosting service found the trojan and have killed the site, as in now isn't reachable ant more.

Thanks for the update, Garreg Ddu - good to know that some hosters are still on the ball and bring down malicious sites quickly. :thumbup:
