    ICS Mobile pm'd me to say the site is fixed and about to go back live with extra security, so original message removed

    If a mod could fix the topic title, would be appreciated :)

    McAfee Anti Virus quarantined several files, and intercepted it trying to install u.exe onto my hard disk.

    Not going back until I hear that it is clear.

    I've been to the site on my iPod today, but not on my computer. And I don't want to try either. :p

    Hopefully things get sorted out, I'd like to hear a bit more information from this thread.

    While on the subject of traffic, about how many hits does freeappaday.com receive per day?

    You'll have to excuse Bramsey, he doesn't experience enough fulfillment in life without coming here and reminding us of his apparent (non-existent) superiority. Just nod and smile, he'll think he's made a difference and eventually leave.

    Flaming the person and not the message.

    I'm pretty sure that's some kind of fallacy, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

    Not really, it's the person who keeps making the messages. I can hardly accuse a bunch of letters of arranging themselves in a certain way.
