> After Jason’s announcement about attacks on the board I have stopped reading the board at work. Having spent the better part of a week cleaning up after a virus infection I have no wish to be - however inadvertently - the cause of another. This is not a comment on Jason’s efforts with the board, but a reflection of the fact that if I cause a disaster at work my **** will be had for ******* and I will probably end up with various parts of my anatomy spread across the office. And nasty comments in my next review.

This board will probably never be the cause of a virus infection. I've designed it so if the site becomes compromised, the software dies entirely and either displays an error or a blank screen (which is what happened the last time).

Likewise, the HTML filtering and Spam filtering for posts makes it extremely difficult to put viruses in there, unless someone knows how to write one in basic HTML. Even the types of files allowed as attachments are restricted.
