It appears some people have reported getting virus warnings from the site but, unless it is in the stuff ancestry.com adds, there is no virus there, and certainly not one inserted by me. I suspect ancestry.com have taken it offline. I also suspect that the anti-virus software that is giving these warnings is over zealous and has applied a heuristic detection algorthm to produce the warnings - and those algorithms are well known for producing occasional "false positives". Most reputable anti-virus software like AVG and Norton report the site as clean (or did until it was taken down by ancestry.com)
Unfortunately I have no control over it since ancestry.com do not even provide a means for me to change the password that is necessary to update the site. If some evil hacker has obtained that password somehow I can do nothing about it.
Actually I have not even accessed nor updated the site myself for many months.
Having no time to investigate further I shall be leaving it in the hands of ancestry.com - but they have not had the courtesy even to contact me so I don't know to what extent they intend to address the issue
Thanks
Hugh
