just come onto MN and McAfee telling me it's detected a trojan

[whatstream]

said to restart pc so it could deal with it, so I did that.
Came back onto MN again and same thing again:
Am creating this post so I can report my own post and let HQ know that way.
Havent had any other websites open, so has to be MN - didn't they have this problem the other week, or something similar?

Anyone else?

Hello. We've just cleared the cache of old ads, too. So all should be well now.

Do let us know, please, if not.

Sorry about the system restore, Maryz - eek!

This is probably way too late to be of any use, but just been brave enough to open laptop again! I was on AIBU, I can't remember the ad, but it was an orange coloured rectangle at the top of the page?

Avast alerted me, I'm sorry, I didn't hang around for details (coward). My poor ole laptop got absolutely hammered by a virus last Christmas and the whole episode scared me for life.

I'm still too freaked to go back on AIBU, is it ok now? You can probably sense I'm not the world's most confident person round computers...

Oh, and would the virus thing explain why I was unable to post properly the other day?

I was trying to post, but I couldn't do paragraphs as the return key didn't seem to want to work. However, when I went into word to check this, it was ok?

PJ the return key thing was sorted out fairly quickly that day. Was weird thougH!

Ooh I say a random capital letter

No that was a regular bug, PersonalJesus. The Techs fixed that, too. Bless 'em.

Thank you Pinot and HelenMumsnet,

Weight off my mind, I've been panicking needlessly it would seem!
