Thanks as always Sam - For the moment I'm ignoring the warning, putting my faith in the statements I've seen that an iPad virus is an impossibility. I'm able to stop using the site for a while so will see what happens when I return to it in the future.Phil

(I didn’t catch all of the message)At the time this happened I was using a translation website that I have used many many times before: WordReference.com This site has begun to put out messages telling the user that they are "heavy users" and inviting them to become “supporters”. I haven’t done this. Maybe there is some connection with this new and alarming message?
