Anyone who's visited the Quaife web site lately - read this!
Not strictly drivetrain related I know, but I figured most people likely to be affected would read this forum.
Quaife's UK web site is one of those listed here as having been infected with malicious code that will try to install a virus on any PC that visits the site.
So, if you haven't visited the site lately, I strongly suggest - DON'T!
If you have, then it's time to update your AV software and run a scan. Don't assume that your current AV tool will necessarily spot it either:
"Victims are unlikely to know they've been infected because the installation is clear and seamless, and the malware uses few PC resources. At last check, only three of 33 antivirus programs detected the malware, which appears to be a derivitive of the Rbot Trojan.".

Pleased to hear it. So does that mean you're lucky, I'm wrong, or that McAfee is one of the 30 out of 33 AV programs tested that doesn't currently pick up the virus?
