When I clicked on the Coroflot/Hobbs End link my antivirus software immediately blocked it as unsafe! Maybe you should take it off the list!
@James Webber
I’ve checked the link from two different computers with different, up to date anti-virus software installed, and did not have a problem. LBM
Thanks for checking. Malwarebytes still doesn’t like it so I guess I won’t get to read it!
You could always disable the anti-virus?
Sorry if this sounds excessively legalistic, but I must stress that action such as disabling anti-virus protection, while it may be appropriate for some users in some circumstances, cannot be given by any responsible adviser as a sort of “blanket response”.
Mike has clarified that the website in question does not fail such anti-virus checks as we have given it. It is up to an individual user to make their own risk assessment before proceeding, taking into not only what Mike said, but also the user’s own confidence in their anti-virus protection, how keen they are to see the website in question, and their own attitude to risk. We must (like anyone else) insist that we (London Reconnections) cannot guarantee that any link whatsoever on this site is harmless; although we do our best to try to check them.
