That's interesting. Thanks. I saw the notification for the update but didn't want to be bothered downloading it. Sometimes being lazy pays off.

I used to use it all the time but when I setup this new machine I hadn't bothered, sods law that when I do it's the tainted one sad

they are saying that it's now been dealt with and current downloads are safe but for the time being I'm just giving it a wide berth.

Stay safe out there folks.
