Malware link on AO page - KimSanDiego - 04-05-2016

On this page
https://www.amblesideonline.org/CM/vol6complete.html#6_2_02
At page 256, the word "drill" is linked. I clicked on it and got a screaming screen that said "You're computer's been infected!" and a more links to follow. Definitely malware, and definitely getting my computer cleaned today as a result.
The malware could be on the site the link directs to, but either way the link should be removed.

Did you follow the other links? If anyone else sees this link, do *not* click on anything else on the linked page. Exit the page, perhaps even clear your cache, browsing. But don't click anything that says to click it.

I used several links to jump to chapters/pages, with no trouble at all.

I removed the link (which was an image of some students doing Swedish drill). Right now, there's nothing there. If you click on it, it goes nowhere.
