Warning on National forest ride

Clicking on the pictures gives a warning from my antivirus software that the location was unsafe.

There are types of virus (phishing) which are created on your computer in a series of communications a bit at a time - like clicking on several pictures. They are very difficult to eradicate because once infested your virus software cannot identify them.

Remedy: just look a the small pictures:-))

I have no problem with clicking on the pictures to save them elsewhere. I am using Norton 360

I have changed my browser from Internet Explorer to Firefox and that shows no error message when clicking on a picture to enlarge it.
However, it would not be a problem to set up another Blog under a slightly different name. Most of what's on the blog is history anyway, so just as today's newspaper is tomorrow's fish and chip wrapping, we can move on.
But if readers are using still Explorer,the problem may follow us
