Dotty · Thank you...

Thanks Jane for this site. I tried to look at it yesterday but my pooter developed a dose of the collywobbles and shut me down...

It's got a case of the shakes at the moment so I can feel a trip to the PC doc coming up...my son says "Shall he have a look?" My reply is not printable...it's prolly him downloading stuff anyway!

<Hi This is a post from Hugh Wallis on Roots Chat. Seems like Ancestry.com
is the culprit!

"It appears some people have reported getting virus warnings from the site
but, unless it is in the stuff ancestry.com adds, there is no virus there,
and certainly not one inserted by me. I suspect ancestry.com have taken it
offline. I also suspect that the anti-virus software that is giving these
warnings is over zealous and has applied a heuristic detection algorthm to
produce the warnings - and those algorithms are well known for producing
occasional "false positives". Most reputable anti-virus software like AVG
and Norton report the site as clean (or did until it was taken down by
ancestry.com)

Unfortunately I have no control over it since ancestry.com do not even
provide a means for me to change the password that is necessary to update
the site. If some evil hacker has obtained that password somehow I can do
nothing about it.

Actually I have not even accessed nor updated the site myself for many
months.

Having no time to investigate further I shall be leaving it in the hands of
ancestry.com - but they have not had the courtesy even to contact me so I
don't know to what extent they intend to address the issue

Thanks

Hugh"

This is really bad news - I know that I use the site frequently and I hope they get it sorted soon!

Germaine

Yes really bad.
Really does look like it is ancestry.com that would be able to sort it. Wonder if they will bother.
Lets hope so.

Dotty · Oh goody...

Well at least I know that it wasn't me when I tried to get onto this site.

I still can't get onto it but I shall keep trying.

Wicked thought - but I wonder if Ancestry.com have deliberately nobbled the Hugh Wallis site

They are hardly in competition (other than one is free and one is by subscription)!

Jane

Can't see why they would. Hugh's site is based on the IGI - and that is nothing to do with Ancestry

Do Ancestry actually have parish records on their site?

I wonder if there is any way we can all complain to Ancestry...................

Germaine

Hi Jane the message you get when you try to get on Hugh's site is from Roots Web (part of ancestry.com)
They do have some parish records they have. Pallot's Marriage and Baptism Index.
They have got very crafty too at one time you got this included in the .co.uk sub now to get it you have to pay extra.
Might be worth an email to ask what is going on.
