This may have already been spotted and fixed by Lauren as I can see no sign of it when I visit the website but just in case....

I just received an email from someone who was infected by malware when they visited the Archive website. This was in the form of a popup claiming to be a survey about fanfic readers. Assuming we were conducting the survey, she answered the questions and her pc became infected with malware.

So please be aware this is not our survey. If you get this popup please let Lauren know. I've mailed her a headsup in case she's unaware and hopefully we'll eradicate this shortly.

I haven't had a survey or strange ads pop up for me on the archive. I've examined the code on the home page and the What's New page and didn't notice anything unusual. But there are hundreds of pages on the site: I hope we haven't been hacked. If this happens to you -- and I'm very sorry if it does -- please make note of the URL of the page where it happens and let me know.

Many thanks,

Lauren
