Gwilym's aunt in the home counties told us that she had received a rather inappropriate website recommendation purporting to have come from Gwilym.
We investigated and I leapt into action on Gwilym's computer. Browser history ? No problem. Some software that is pointless and unnecessary, so we deleted that, but nothing alarming. He does his virus scans more often than necessary. I ran Ccleaner and defragmented his disk, but nothing really. (He loves watching clips of car programmes in Youtube.)
Then I got a message recommending a website that sells pharmaceuticals. But Gwilym was in the room with me. "Right - we'll keep this pc turned off when you are not on it, OK ?"
Then I got a message (a dating website this time) when we knew that Gwilym's pc was turned off and Gwilym was in school.
The messages seem to come from gmail chat. I just wonder whether he has logged into his gmail account on some other pc somewhere - which has some dodgy software, virus or whatever...
Anyway he's stopped using gmail and opened a new 'otmail account.
In 2005 Alan, Pat, Gwilym & Catrin Davey moved from North East Wales to Bordeaux. Alan is a pastor and Pat was a nurse. Now we work with UFM worldwide. Read on! (If you'd like to know what took us to Bordeaux, then start with the archives from September 2004)

Google Buzz, which has had security issues
Common or garden spam - it's pretty easy to make spam messages look like they come from an email address you've harvested from some list somewhere..
OK. We'll let Gwilym out of the dungeon wherein he has been incarcerated since Tuesday.
