Just been on Dr.A's web page at www.928Spares.co.uk.
Whilst on the site a pop-up ad appeared for a company called 'Ringtone Universe', an SMS provider.
This pop-up window attempted to download the Dial/Top69 virus onto my PC which was detected by our corporate scanning software. This is a premium rate dialer virus which attempts to help you spend lots of money without realising it!
This virus is nothing to do with Dr.A's website. It's simply being sent by one of the unpleasant companies using the pop-up ad service associated with Dr.A's site. I'm sure he won't be pleased when he gets back from hols!
Gareth.
