    Thumbs down Malware Warning

    I've received the following malware warning several times this evening. It's happened on more than one PC, so I'm pretty confident it's not related to my local PC:

    Oh, and Websense has gone back to blocking the site, once again...
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Re: Malware Warning

    I personally connect several times each day without ever having got this warning. (using FF 44.0 under Xubuntu 14.04.3)


    (FWIW I installed AdBlockPlus, could that have anything to do with avoiding the problem (just an idea))

    Re: Malware Warning

    I have totally lost count of the Posts commenting on this problem
    But I am getting increasingly worried that I have not had a single warning....
    I have older Computers, XP and Vistas. Just one Widows 7. My XP has virtually no protection, so I am going to make no attempt to access the Forum on That.
    On Vistas and Windows 7 I only have Microsoft Security Essentials.. I have been advised to the contrary here... but i think I should be worried.....

    Re: Malware Warning

    Doc, I *think* the error 504 is because the server is slow, I just got that a little while back too, and ended up with a double post
