Thank you Peter I really appreciate the effort you have gone to and will try and find a workaround. The workaround is simple: stop relying on software that is proven to be giving false results and install something more reliable. My only concern in all this was to verify something that I already knew; that the site is not in any way a phishing site. I went to the trouble only as a matter of responsibility. As I have been protected for at least 20 years with AVG I’ll stay with the devil I know but something will work out. I really have to ask; how do you know you have been protected? Because they say so? Perhaps by good fortune you have never really risked a virus attack. Personally I use Avira (free version) and it has blocked some malware (malware is not a necessarily a virus but something that can come with software that you install that may use your information for advertising or commercial purposes. It can take the form of installing software that you did not want or creating popup advertising messages). Perhaps due to a certain amount of care I have not risked a virus for many years. I run regular scans for both malware and viruses. Good luck Peter

Having said that any anti virus protection by the very nature of the beast can only ever be behind the game as they cannot predict the next incoming threat they are also victims in a way. This is my logic and I am happy to be corrected if anyone has a predictive AV system .

I was told by someone who should know that Win10 Defender is as good as you can get as long as the OS is kept up to date.

While I have W10 on my laptop, so relying on Defender, the PC hardware in my office is not capable of running W10, according to Windoze. Thanks Ian for correcting the AVG/Avast ownership detail. I will have search for the AV Peter is using. I don't believe in blindly holding onto a product that doesn't work properly

Being a paid up member to VPN anti track and AV and they work well for me with reports, it would be unwise to leave tbh.
If it ain’t broke leave it alone.

Oh dear, just tried to log into the image library and my recently updated subscription anti virus programme advised me of a possible phishing issue thus did not allow connection, thus it seems it may not just be an AVG issue.... sigh. Sorry if this adds to any possible frustration/confusion..... Perhaps someone is just trying to spoil our fun...

Try it on your phone George it works fine for me on an iphone 8S. I don't put AVG on it as I don't carry out any type of transactions on it.
Good luck.

My Norton is OK - just checked for updates and then accessed TM Img with no issues.
