I just went to the Beeches Nursery U.K. website and was looking up a dahlia
when my anti-virus program went into overdrive. Suggest you avoid that
site.

Nope - checks out as clean here.....

campaign to rubbish Beeches Nursery ?

Looks like a very good Nursery, too. I've forwarded the derogatory
message to Zen and to Beeches Nursery.

Good isn't it? And beautifully laid out, I thought.

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:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/12519030@N02/4204644002/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/12519030@N02/4203887527/

I got out of the site, and got back into it a few minutes later and still
got the same result. I haven't tried since.

I'm not trying to put any nursery down, I'm a real nursery enthusiast. I
was just trying to alert people to a possible problem. I really do think
that Sacha went over the top to "shop" me to my ISP, and I'm glad she's
alerted Beeches Nursery, maybe they can have a look at my flickr photos as
well. For obvious reasons I have redacted my own name in my screenshots.

I wish the Beeches Nursery well, and may look at their site again sometime
when I'm in an internet cafe and not on my own PC.

Maybe I was just unlucky with the Beeches Nursery at that point in time.

They're called false positives, suggest you inform Avira so they can check it out.

This one?

No problems here, my AV soon shouts if the site is compromised.

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?

There are no obvious reasons that I can see. If you're an outraged and
'damaged' customer, why hide your name while exposing theirs to doubt
and ridicule? Why not check with them, your ISP and your anti-virus
program suppliers first?

I wish the Beeches Nursery well, and may look at their site again sometime
when I'm in an internet cafe and not on my own PC.

Maybe I was just unlucky with the Beeches Nursery at that point in time.

If you're a genuinely concerned customer you'd go straight to the
Nursery and tell them the problem. You would not dash straight to the
entire world - literally - and warn them off a web site without
consultation with its owners. YOUR ISP is also MY ISP. You saw fit
to post this accusation anonymously which is very unfair to Beeches
Nursery who do not have the luxury of the anonymity you've given
yourself. It's not one of the most highly used or better known ISPs
in newsgroup land, so I'm not running the risk of some trouble-making
idiot accusing me or another Zen customer of doing this to Beeches
Nursery, so OUR ISP will sort this out. You hide your identity but
don't allow Beeches a quick and early chance to correct anything (that
only *you* say is wrong) before you tell the world to avoid their web
site! From what I could see they run a good and professional
organisation and you have put that at risk, most unfairly and unwisely.
What Beeches Nursery does when they identify you is up to them, of
course.
