The firewall on my laptop will not allow access to the Hornby site. It says it is infected with script virus. Anyone else having a problem?

Still the same. When I access the site I get the Hornby banner across the top of the screen, but everything below is gobbledegook text. For me, it has been like this for a couple of hours at least. Initially it did tell me what the virus was, but now it does not :roll:

Have you tried switching the PC off and on.

I'll give that a go Brian. Just checked my "security" and it says Hornby site infected by HTML:Script-inf[Susp].

Have just turned everything off and on again, and it appears to have done the trick - thanks Brian.

Generally works. That'll be £350 + vat. Perhaps that is what Boeing should do with their space capsule stranded on the Space Station.

Bugs back!!!!!!!! I'll try turning it off and on again. :o

This got me back in again, but within a few minutes my security closed the Hornby site down and will not let me back in.

I think I may have solved the problem. We have BT Broadband, and there are three boosters dotted around the house, and they all have different identities when hooking up to the broadband. I noted that the one I was linked to, was shown as "untrusted" by the Avast security, so I have changed to one of the others which was said to be "trusted" and I now appear to be back to normal service. All very strange.
