Googling "league2000.co.uk" and looking at the google cache for the first hit, which is that site's home page, it seems to be just an innocent cycling club site. But clicking on the link in Firefox 5, gives me a "Warning - visiting this site may harm your computer!"

That's the trouble with cyclists - you never know where they've been!

Getting the same here, with Chromium on Linux. Ram's avatar is hosting on the league200 site.

League 2000 is legit.

Loki can you send me more details please.

Doesn't matter, just got the same warning, mailing my host with the details.

Nice try, spammer. If you register, your account will be deleted. Go away.

Get the same msg when trying to change it to.

Have renamed it on my server however, I still can't select a new one in my profile... Mike, still get the above msg.

I've delete my site, apart from 1 directory that I don't have permissions to, have asked my host to delete it.

You'll still get the warning as I was not able to update my lxf forum profile to remove the link to my avatar.
