This is a site that should interest many of you esp the older amongst
us
http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/
David @the tropical end of Swansea bay where we are having a tropical
storm.

I tried to look at that site and it crashed my computer. It shut off
claiming it had closed down to protect my system from a malicious
add-on
and it's taken hours to get it back up and running again. It sent it
into a
real panic.
Did anyone else have that problem?

Not me. I didn't install an add on.

Perhaps Tina's computer was already 'infected' by something?

Unlikely. I have state of the art virus and malware protection.

That sounds very unlikely if what you posted about
http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/ is correct.


Maybe my computer is paranoid.
But normally it is very right about threats and that link, well, it didn't
like it. It shut down my computer and then it went into a hissy fit. There
was something about that link that my computer simply did not like.


The problem is in what you have installed not the website. It was what
you have installed that shut down your PC not the website.
Which browser are you using and which plugins has it got?

I'd try Chrome and/or Opera and see what happens
