Kitchen Garden Forum

I guess many of you got the email about the new Subscribers Club. Apart from the confusion that it doesn't accept existing logins so have to create a new one and I haven't got the foggiest idea what my Customer ID is (guess I can resolve that next month) it also seems to have a sponsored link to something about "Who is watching you". My anti-virus came up with the warning below so I have emailed Safe Monitor to ask what is going on. I have great respect for Trend Micro so I have no intention of registering unless I get a reply. This is just a warning in case you get the same message.
PS : tried to reproduce the link to this software, that originally came up last night, as I wrote this but it didn't happen so possibly it was nothing to do with KG or they have corrected something.

Thanks for flagging this. Yes, I also received the email, but didn't investigate too deeply as I receive the monthly magazine and also log into the forum fairly regularly, so wasn't sure what extra features/benefits subscribing to this would bring. But if it involves having to create a new ID or password then I'm afraid "I'm out" as I already have more than enough difficulties coping with IDs and passwords for existing sites I subscribe to ! I've reached a stage where I'm trying to simply my life, not acquired additional complications!

Thanks for the warning Geoff, it will be interesting to see what reply you get.

They have replied as below and I tried the install again and Trend did not block it. If you have any thoughts that your machine has been infiltrated this may be a way of checking. Also the new magazine arrived so I was able to get my customer id and register for Subscribers Club.
