Beware of malicous "comments"

Friends,

A little warning: I've had a "comment" on one of my blog postings. This turned out to be a piece of malicious software ("malware"?).

PLEASE: if you open a comment on a blog posting, and there is no obvious readable message - only one or more active links saying something like "here" - DO NOT CLICK ON THEM.

I stupidly did, and had to spend the next eight hours or so doing a full virus scan.

Sorry for this one. It ought not to be necessary, but we live in a decidedly dodgy world, I'm afraid.

Cheers
Mike
