I just went to the Beeches Nursery U.K. website and was looking up a

I am happy to hear that none of you had any problems with an apparent
virus on the Beeches Nursery site, however, it *did* happen to me on the
19th December. I have Avira Anti-Virus and it has proved very reliable
in the past couple of years. I grabbed a couple of screen shots of the
incident and you can view them here on Flickr:

The AV window shows a detection, and I can see what I presume is Beeches
website underneath. However the AV window doesn't identify the offending
webpage. It would be quite easy to have any website showing under the AV.

Also why would you go to the trouble of capturing the screen image and
posting it on flickr?
