[Super_Megatron]

Hi everyone! Hope everything's fine in your part of the universe!

Here's an update about the current technical situation of our website, and, of course, some news about many new preorders and upcoming arrivals!

Automaton's website tech situation:
The technical problems we've experienced recently are now solved and everything is back to normal. I would like to give, in my personal name and from Automaton, some special thanks to all our customers for your constant support and patience. Our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience those problems may have caused. We can now shift our interest on more pleasant things: a great year 2010 full of exciting toys...and fun!

Speaking of exciting toys, we will stock for sure the upcoming War For Cybertron line: we are very excited so far with what we've seen. The figures seems quite videogame-accurate with a good level of details. We are just awaiting our suppliers' sollicitations and we'll open preorders soon after. So stay tuned!

With that said, here are the:

Was the "technical situation" a virus? If so then you should let people know because people should be updating their anti-virus software.

from the last Adobe error, I found my Apple software is kept updating; is it ok ?

[Mumps]

If anybody is concerned, download Avast virus scanner, scan away and let Avast destroy any infections.

Yeah in theory, I tried AVG and Avast and the trojan that was on there still killed my PC :(

Yeah,but are you concerned??I think being concerned helps with the virus thing. :p
