Or Geocities has >something wrong with their server? No, it's not Sarah's problem, as _my_ geocities sites gave the warning as well as some from people I know. It's somewhere in the code geocities adds to a page you download, a javascript. I checked out the AntiVir forum, and it now _seems_ it's a glitch with AntiVir, as other scanners didn't give an alert message. Probably be fixed in a day or so with a next update of AntiVir. http://www.free-av.de/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=001961 Sorry for the off topic message. J. J.
