Virus Warning -Pomona videos

The virus comes from the hosting site or the codec.
It does not come from Toby or his video.

Solution: Use the download link and watch the video in DivX. Do not stream it.

The reason I used Mediafire is because there is no waiting between downloads and you can download as many files at a time as you want. Other free file hosts make you enter a captcha code and you can only download one file per 30 minutes or whatever. They do that so they can get you to sign up for the paid version. I think Mediafire would be OK if you use Firefox with noscript.

Oh, well. I guess I'll just stick to text.

Well Toby, I have downloaded every video you have posted. There is no virus, no warning of a virus. I have the Nortorn 360 anti virus program with windows Vista and usually between the two of them there is always warnings if any download is questionable.

Keep the video camera rolling. Love to see all the racers and the cars run, especially since I am at home looking at 3 feet of snow on the deck and it is -29 degrees here. Brrrr

I got it too. It started sending people in my email lists a link to a Canadian Pharmacy. One of my dumb *** friends even ordered stuff. He thought if I sent it to him, then it must be safe. I will be running Malwarebytes today. Not blaming Toby though, this stuff just happens.
