dear mods, gods of the board, or either neil russ max tom!

when i couldnt be arse to type in the web address of i2f into the adress bar, i thought id do a cheeky google, too lazy so i put in the usual into google, international 2cv friends, the first link that comes up, so i click on it, and it directs to another site

some sort of advertising, but it says its clea/ rly i2f on google but its not

is this the reason no one has joined recently (i tend to notice at the bottom of the board index!!)

heres some screenies for you too look at to make sure im not going mad


what it appears to be on google so i click on it,

it does this look

caught a screenie in the process of loading

then i got these two pages ( i tried more than once you see)





now im not sure if ive gone mad, but i thought id report in with this problem, just so you know and others know..

infact, its not just google, if you type in

http://www.international2cvfriends.com
then it happens, whereas i tend to visit using something like this from my histroy

http://www.international2cvfriends.com/viewyourposts or whatever it is, so the direct link to http://www.international2cvfriends.com is taking you elsewhere when you put it into the address bar and hit enter

just got this also

Your 'puter has a lergy matey!

its my bro's laptop, wouldnt be suprised, so its only me its doing it too? thought id bring it to the attention just incase following the recent events of AF
it is the only site this does it too also, and my bro has antivirus and i had disabled most sites and settings on it so it shouldnt be able to catch the lurgy, but i geuss anything is possible these days, well anyway you can all see what happened, whether it is just me or not i thought i better mention it

Yep, your computer's picked up a bug. Take it to the PC doctor. There's loads around. They'll charge you £30 or so to put it right. My cousin'd do it for you, but he's in Brum, unless you want to drop it in to him on your way up to Durham to pick up that engine...

nah ill pass, i can sort it out, dont it enough times before, hes always getting virus's, andim always having tosort it out, how annoying, oh well, thanks anyway!!

Definitely not a problem with the site. I've just tried from several PCs, including ones that have never been here before, and all is working fine.

If you think there's a virus on that machine (and I do) then start by not trusting any anti-virus software installed on it. Viruses affect the anti-virus software first. Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com for a full online scan from a trusted anti-virus.

ok just thought id check mr 2cvadmin its my bro's pc, who knows what dodgy sites he goes on

anyway sorry for the scare i jsut thought it woudl be sensible to mention it considering recent events..

you pay for some sweaty nerd to scan your laptop for viruses, all you need is comodo anti virus as your firewall/anti virus (the best free software around). and James download http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html this software its free (as you never need to pay for a virus scanner) and will get rid of ANY viruses.

here to help

No... just that I don't know what James's level of computer knowledge is! So if the whole thing is a pain in the backside to him (and for plenty of people it is) then he could just take it to "some sweaty nerd" and get on with fixing his 2CV while Mr. Computer gets de-loused. End of!
