[#2909392]

might be over reaction, but when I followed the post enquiring about "what Kona frame" it appears the image file harbours a virus or similar.

On opening the Virusbarrier X6 on the mac went into overdrive, and then completely freaked out when the "consider cleaning your mac" window popped up from the site.

Smells cheesy !!!!

Clicking on image pop up window comes up ... "http://lm.zeobit.com" something like "click to clean your mac" and a yes / no option. Virusbarrier popped up with a scan warning at same time.

Had heard of increase in steganography virus' within jpegs and thought "uh-oh".

The option to exit safari was disabled, and when I forced closed it virusbarrier came up with both threat and scan warnings.

I could be completely over reacting, but looking at the original poster they do seem fairly intent on putting the image file everywhere after registering today ?

Your problem is that you have a virus scanner on the Mac. ๐Ÿ˜›

Wouldn't be without it, doubly so running a virtual windows environment without isolation.

Call me paranoid ๐Ÿ™‚
