Sorry that my first post is a cry for help!
I downloaded the updated mozilla yest and this mo callnotify and led without incident - all good.
This mo i went to maemocentral from planet maemo here and got nobbled with a windows like screen citing malware attack and downloaded what i thought was a solution offered by the site.
Any one with any ideas how much trouble i am in or how to fix whatever is in there - mozilla seems to b running v slowly?
Tks in advance
Ian
GREAT NEWS - This is from a reply post showing that all is fine again at maemocentral - thanks again for all your help.
Hi Nick,
I am the admin of MaemoCentral.com and I received your email, thanks. I am glad to say that we have fixed the issue.
It appears that a large number of sites hosted on godaddy were targeted with malware.

I'd once again like to emphasize that Maemo Central is safe and we'd love to have you there.
PS: Even if your downloaded the .exe file etc your N900 is safe. It is immune to such malware/viruses.
burwat292596, I am sorry you had to face such a situation. We're working to make sure it doesn't happen again. In the meanwhile, I'd appreciate it if you could edit your first post to tell people what happened and we avoid unnecessary paranoia!
