    Every time I log in to the BBC News Home Page I get a blocked Malware infection warning from my virus protection software.

    I have reported to the BBC. Guess what the contact page attempted to install the malware package 😈

    Is that http://www.bbc.co.uk/news Graham

    Norton internet security is not highlighting any problem.

    Graham,

    The URL on the warning message is not the BBC. Check your shortcut definition. If OK suspect your DNS settings.

    URL is correct.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/

    Wireless network adaptor on laptop is set to obtain DNS address automatically. (5Ghz connection)

    I can try a wired connection to see if that makes any difference
