On the 9/17/11 QB Digest, there was a thread asking for help on a machine embroidery problem, and within this thread there were several references to a free site referred to as Wilcom.com where you could view your embroidery designs on your computer. Although I have Master Works II to view my designs before transferring them to my embroidery machine, I thought it might be nice to have a simple program just to be able to quickly view my design images. When trying to access the site, my virus program would not let the site through and gave me the message that it has been infected with a Trojan Horse that would have crashed my computer. I then went back into the thread to find the references to the site, just to be sure I had not incorrectly typed this site's address and found my typing to be correct. If the site was once viable, it seems that it is now infected, so please beware, folks.
