[QUOTE="TRS-80, post: 867636, member: 81749"] G'day [USER=86500]@Meddling_Wizard[/USER] You would be wise, in future, to scan ANY link you are unsure of. One way of doing this is via VirusTotal. There are other link scanners at some AV suppliers such as Kaspersky, etc. If you don't know or, trust the source of any link - delete. Online scanners are not infallible. Knowledge and judgement are your first line of defence. Thank you for sharing your information. You've had excellent advice, above. I wish you well for the future! Stay safe, well & happy.🙏 [USER=81749]@TRS-80[/USER] (y) [/QUOTE]
