    Thanks guys - i guess it's local to me! DAMN!

    Just been reviewing other HTML Framer errors with AVG.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I just loaded the same url and no issues.

    from the articles i've read it seems like AVG is being over zealous on blocking scripts!

    Feel free to delete the thread in light of your brand quality!

    I'm unsure now if i have a local issue as i've just tried the url in the error given by AVG...

    wordpress.org/support/topic/356295 - and this is showing a threat. I'd be grateful if you could test this url too.

    I just tried both of the topics ( 356295 and 361891 ) you posted. AVG on Vista, no alarms went off.
