Yesterday I visited www.deccaclassics.com, the site didn't seem to work right (links to "New Releases, etc were not there) then my anti-virus program popped up a dialog notifying me that it had blocked a malicious program.  This seems to indicate that someone has hacked into the site.   >:(  Anyone else have a similar experience.  (It goes without saying that I advise you not to visit the site.)

Scarpia - well, I'll take your advice, esp. since I'm on my VISTA laptop at the moment; if I were on my old IBM Ubuntu machine, I would give it a try - maybe later?  Dave  :)

I visited it with a Virtual PC and it immediately got busy locking up Firefox and IE while it did its business, so it looks as if it has.

I see.  Since Decca is now just and outpost of DG, I sent an e-mail to DG tech support describing the problem, but no reply or action taken, I see.   I don't know what Decca's tech support email would be, for obvious reasons.   :(

Well, if you click one of the "Universal Music" logos (of course you'd want to click the left one :)), you will be transported that site - and it includes all the new Decca releases. They apparently have closed down the Decca site.
