Hoor het wel bedankt voor de medewerking.

Hier kwam ik foto's tegen van de stoomparade:

http://dnu.nu/beeld/5175-stoomparade-door-binnenstad

Al vanaf zaterdag, of eerder, blijkt de site van het spoorwegmuseum vol
te staan met malware. Dit merkte ik aanvankelijk doordat ik een melding
kreeg dat MIJN computer vol malware zou staan en of ik maar even een
progje wilde downloaden om dit weg te halen... Uiteraard ging ik hier
niet op in. Via Google chrome ontving ik direct bij het bezoeken van de
link http://www.spoorwegmuseum.nl een melding dat het foute boel was!
Bijgaand de melding. Is er iemand die het spoorwegmuseum dit kan
alarmeren, want het is het hele weekend tot en met nu niet anders...

Nu krijg ik ook geen melding meer, eerder dus wel steeds, vandaar ook de
meegestuurde screenprint (zie mijn eerdere mail) en bij Google kreeg ik
het bericht dat ze de webmaster ook hadden bericht, dat was dus zaterdag
al. De suggestie dat ik dus besmet was/ben werp ik verre van me.....
(bekende uitdrukking). In elk geval is het euvel verholpen! Overigens
had Hugo al gemeld mijn bericht door te hebben gegeven.
