    Thanks for reporting this. I'll look into the issue

      Paul, I have subsequently uninstalled and downloaded the latest version from
      Sourceforge (same as before) but the porn link was also in the downloaded
      version.

    The issue was due to the brainworkshop.net domain getting hijacked and redirected to an unauthorized site. The domain has been recovered and now appears to point to the proper location, at least for me. It may take time for your DNS cache to flush (probably not more than 1 hour but possibly up to 24 hours) before seeing the proper site. Apologies for the issue and thanks again for the report.

    To be clear, the software itself remains uncompromised. The domain brainworkshop.net was temporarily pointing to an unintended location rather than the correct location which is http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net .

      Mine is okay now. Thanks

      I was a bit concerned something may have been loaded on my machine, but
      Bitdefender found nothing.

      A great app BTW - at 68 I am getting definite benefit, albeit slowly.
