Re: Website Defacement Day

Hi there :)

Apologies on behalf of my virus scanner.  I have stopped the scanner from
notifying the recipient of the e-mail which will prevent this from happening
again.  I'll still receive the notifications though (this e-mail sent me
another one as the <iframe> code was still in the body :)

Regards,
AG
