As I was looking at updates to the Forum my Security software picked up the above Trojan - no other applications or sites were open.

Just a word of warning!

Ian,
I've been in & out of the site most of the day without any dramas or notification from Avast or Malwarebytes.
Hmm

Thanks for the replies.

As soon as I submitted the post I exited ExplorOz and removed the Trojan - which had been quarantined 4 times whilst I was on line.

I have just entered the site again and immediately got the message that the same trojan was detected and moved to quarantine.

I use Norman Security Suite.

After submitting this I will exit and delete trojan, then try some other sites to see what happens

Sorry but after over 20 years of playing with computers I am firmly of the belief that free security software mostly is worth just that.
Malwarebytes would be an exception.

Each to his own however

LOL
