I just want to warn everyone I have been on the above site and have had 3 virus warnings. I was on it a few days ago and got the same thing but could not be positive it was from that site as I had been on a couple of others but tonight I have only been on there so it is from that site. |

Thought I'd take a look and I got this too. It's hosted by Rootsweb which is part of Ancestry. |

On the Devon Family History message board there is a post with a link asking for people to petition Rootsweb to re-instate the website |

I tried all day yesterday and have tried again to today to access the site but have been unable to get connected. This is why I came on this site to see if anyone else was having the same problem. I have checked my anti virus but it says it is still running but maybe that is why today I have received 20 e-mails from the same person and the same time. |

Hugh has answered on another forum, it seems Rootsweb have not contacted him about the site (e-mails not getting through?), they have just pulled it for the time being. Hopefully it will be back soon. |

The site is back up but I would advise waiting before visiting it. |

I used the site last night after it was reinstated and today there are four trojans on my system. I do have up to date antivirus and it has caught them, but they must have come form the Hugh Wallis site again |
