Im giving it a miss, Just got my computer working again. Looked it up with my anti viras,
It said malware can search your computer why you look at the site.

[mozzie]

im on a mac it is still warning malware
have to give lex a ring tomorrow to let him know!!!

[ian fry]

yeh im getting the same.

[mswhin63]

Looks like the site has been wiped.

[mswhin63]

Bit more than a Malware, My Norton just showed an attempt at un-authorised access. So don't visit it at the moment. Maybe use this thread by the owner to determin if it is safe to visit.

[mozzie]

i hope a virus or such hasnt wiped everything!!!!!
bloody hackers

Hello All,

I don't know where else to put this, so if the Mods think it's worth moving, please feel free.

Briefly, the Star Optics website gets a Google warning before loading the page.

I seriously doubt the SO crew are actually doing any malware, but if somebody can let them know it would probably be good for business.

Regards,
