Beware the Lace pickups website. I clicked on the banner ad while lurking at the TDPRI, and my antivirus software started going all "DANGER, DANGER Will Robinson!" on me.

Said virus was caught and disposed of, but wanted to save y'all some pain.

What ad was it? I saw a Lace Music ad at TDPRI.
If you haven't already, you should contact them and tell them about this.

Yep, Robert, it was the Lace ad. I'm not a member over there... I was hoping that maybe there was a member here that might be able to advise the admin there for me.

EDIT: It's the ad right under the "Support Us, Ebay, and MF" ads, in between "Skip Simmons Amp Repair" and the "Acme" ad, on the forum index page.

Funny you should mention this......because I was on their website (Lace) last nite and looking at Alumitione pups and some crazy-a** thing popped up about Trojan virus and stuff and I panicked and had to get my daughter to straighten something or the other out. Sheesh!!!
