Hate to bring this up again, but on my brand spankin new install of Windows 8 Pro, upon first visit to the AoS, Windows warns me about "malicious code" that is being handled by Windows Defender.
Gentlemen, will you please skim through the code here and check if this is a false warning?
I wouldnt bother if it wasnt for the fact that the last malware attack via the AoS caused my PC to be infected with a trojan...
By no means is this an attemp to drag AoS in the mud, im trying to be helpful here!
Regards

I have been through the code with a fine toothed comb and can find nothing untoward.
However, I am planning on upgrading us to the latest version of VB3.8 with all latest security patches. This will be done in the next couple of days.
Downtime will be required, which I will post about separately.

Right ho my old muckers, I found the little fecker responsible for all the pop-ups. The culprit is a nasty little program called Selection Links. It must have come down the pipe when I was updating another program. Usually I am on the ball when dealing with such things but there has been a lot of shit going on recently and I probably let my guard slip...

Wasn't there a news report on the BBC a week or two ago where it was noted that people could pick up advertising trojans etc when visiting porn sites?
