If you don’t find your comment here…
My virus checker has detected a virus in a number of comments posted in the last few days including those from Bloggers that have been visiting this site for a long time. Not sure how the virus has made it through WordPress. Anyhow, if you don’t find your comment here, it’s because your comment links are infected with a virus and, thus, I have been forced to delete your comment. I have reported the issue to WordPress.
thx

Update
WordPress have contacted me with the following response:
“We have contacted AVG about this and it was definitely a false-positive on their end.
Users will need to update following this guide to remove the warning:
So, it seems, it’s a case of an over-zealous virus-checker 
Thanks for being on the ball, WordPress 
and apologies to the Bloggers whose comments I deleted
Bit of a worry isn’t it!
It sure is, Julie. I usually click on the links of new bloggers visiting my site to see where they’re from and a number of emails from the ‘likes’ notifications had infected links in them. I then checked some of the regular bloggers’ comment links and found two (so far) with infected links.
Not me I hope
No, Gabe – I checked yours and they are fine
Hope it’s not mine…I run a virus check every evening just to prevent such things…how do they get through WordPress?
Hi Charles – I have checked yours and they are fine.
It’s interesting that the specific emails themselves didn’t report a threat, but the threat came up in a number of them (but not others) when I clicked on the link to the blogger’s site in the email, comment or ‘like’ notification on the WP Dashboard.
Thanks…I’ll have to watch out for that…have a great day…it is day there right? I’m off to bed.
Actually, it’s close to sundowner-hour
Happy dreams 
A lot of the comments I’ve been leaving on blogs are not showing up…. does that mean I’m infected?
Well, Nursemyra, you should be comforted by the fact that, being a nurse, you have unlimited access to all that penicillin…
Just to clarify as per the response from WordPress – there wasn’t a genuine infection – the virus-checker just falsely reported that there was. If you are having problems with your comments not showing up, it may just be that they have been erroneously designated as spam by WordPress. I have noticed this happening occasionally on genuine comments but don’t know the cause
Better safe than sorry.
I agree, Tilly – it’s a jungle out there
Thx
Glad it was a false alarm.
Me too, Nancy – caused a bit of a runaround, tho
The virus-checker did it – who would have thought?!
sorry to hear this Bluebee, hope it’ll be fixed. Have a great day!
It is, thx aRVee
What a lovely user friendly response from WordPress
hahaha
Yes, and very prompt
“false-positive” sounds like a dodgy pathology report
Not me, I hope…
Nope – actually, nobody – the virus-checker needs to do some self-examination, haha
Hi BB. I just thought I would do a random check to see if I came up!
John
Hello John – no, no problems with your comments
It was all a false alarm, anyway – the virus checker itself was the culprit. Thx. bb
This is good news, Bluebee. I’m frustrated by my inability to get to my blog and was worried about viruses. I checked my computer and found none. Something else is going on, though, and I would love to solve it.
In the meantime, if I can’t get to you, Happy Holidays!! We are in the deep freeze, and I’m dreaming about an Australian summer.
Hi Monica – how frustrating that you’re having such problems. The one thing that will prevent you logging in to your blog is if you have changed the ‘Cookie’ access settings in your browser software to ‘Denied’. If this is the case, then you will find that nothing happens once you have entered your WP username and password, and clicked ‘Log In’. Perhaps this is the cause of your problem… Have you tried logging in to your blog from a different computer (at the library, or somewhere like that)? If you are not sure what I’m talking about, you can email me and I will try and help you – just let me know which browser software you are using (i.e. Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).
Our summer is being a little shy, I have to say – not terribly warm so far
