Title: "Memento Mori" - Warning!
Post by: sonofthom on Friday 28 March 25 14:33 GMT (UK)

I used to go to the above website regularly to find Scottish Graves. As my tree filled up I have had less need to use it but today for the first time in months, maybe even a year or two, I clicked on my saved link for this website. Bad mistake! I was immediately on a website telling me that my computer was infected and a non stop pop up supposedly from Windows Defender was insisting that I click the button to remove the viruses. After a bit of effort I managed to get rid of the pop up and a Norton scan tells me that my computer is clear of viruses.

Looks like the legitimate website is no more so beware - does anyone know what has happened to it or can it still be found somewhere?

Thanks Alan. I don't know this site (not the one I used to use) but will enjoy exploring it.

Is it possible that is the same ‘site’ at a new address?

The site closed down some years ago. I don't remember exactly when or why.
