    Check your security, it could have been breached if you have clicked on an unknown source.

    Sometimes you can get a "security" call from a scam source that mimics a web security programme. If yours was definitely from your own security source it should be ok and obviously you are back on here ok so hopefully no further problems.

    Caravan club website is 'https' and has the verified green padlock, so nothing wrong with the site. If you have this then accept it as a trusted site in your security programme.

    Maybe AVG has been reading the Snagging List thread and is giving it's own response to the inaction.surprisedlaughing

    I ditched AVG years ago after some problems in favour of Norton which I have found to be pretty reliable.

    No idea if OP on site. Obviously the initial on site website has no padlock as it is open.
