No alert from my end but I am using IE

Hi essexboy,

Yep, it is browser specific. No alert going there with IE, no alert going there with fx, so it is google chrome related and possibly via the workings of one of the extensions I have installed there. That gives me less to worry then,

Hi essexboy,

Funny, my good friend, going there from the link in the former posting using GoogleChrome does not give any hick-up, no alert…
I think it is the webmaster old school doing. Some have similar issues in other browsers for this site: http://www.cyclestore.co.uk/
It is related to a registry key for User Agent Switcher: Chrome UA spoofer
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ User Agent \ etc.

Hi Polonus,

With sniffer I get the same-looking return.

What users should do is cleanse the browser cache and reboot,
