Hi everyone,

We are working to determine which advertisement is causing this messaging to occur. We still believe that this messaging is from is an advertisement that appears to be exploiting a hole in *Internet Explorer* to show a *false* virus alert.

This kind of advertising is *not* approved by FT, and will immediately be blocked when it is located. Meanwhile, despite the message it shows you, you do not have a virus (from this) and FT is not infected.

*One way to avoid it is to switch browsers to Chrome or Firefox.*

Thank you for your continued patience while we work to resolve this.
