It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Any details as none of my arsenal of Anti-spyware or Anti-virus is picking up anything. It might be a false positive so give us some clues.

are you using Kaspersky if so it is almost certainly a false positive:

http://support.kaspersky.com/kis2010/er ... =208281219" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Kaspersky are aware and sorting it

I get the occasional 'block' of an IP address by Malwarebytes (protecting in real time) when browsing the site. Only happens maybe once in 50 or more page views. I get similar when receiving subscription emails from cnet.com, and they also carry Google Ads within them.

I suspect it is just a particular type of ad within Google Ads which provokes a false alert.

I wouldn't worry about it tbh.
