Unfortunately I have discovered that our web site has been hacked. It appears that the forum home page had been modified to download software from an external site. I removed the modification as soon as I discovered it last night, but it is possible that this modification had been made some days ago.
The security software on my PC blocked most of the downloaded content and the rest I elected not to install when requested by my browser, but your own security software may have behaved differently to mine. I would suggest that you run full security scans on your own PCs particularly if you accepted the offer and downloaded/installed software from what appeared to be this site.
I will make changes to te site this weekeend to try and prevent this happening again.
If you have any worries or spot anything else odd about the site please let me know ASAP.
I have posted this thread in this part of the forum as I believe its the most widely read of the site. I will probably move it in a few weeks to the "Web site / Forum design" part of the forum.

The security fixes have now been applied to the site, so, hopefully we will not experience this again. It's a wicked wicked world out there!
