When I try to go to metoffice.gov.uk this morning my browser (chrome) doesn’t take me there – instead it downloads a file called “download”.

I get the same thing whether I type in the URL or google it and click on the link.

Any IT experts on here who can see what’s going on?

Fine here. Does the URL redirect, what’s it say in the bar?

works fine for me.

Lot of chrome redirect trojans about at the moment. Sounds like you have one.

Your browser been compromised?

Has the met office website been hacked?

Why? Is it giving accurate reports now?

Hmm working ok for me now… Strange.

nevertheless, download malwarebytes and do a scan

Just spoken to the support team and no issues deetected or reported. As above really, AV and malwarebytes and both a good next steps.
