Default Possible Virus on this Forum?

To the moderators/administrators:

For the last couple of days, every time I log onto the forum, my Norton 360 security program alerts me it has blocked one of two virusus, listed below

Bloodhound.exploit.193
or
Trojan.ByteVerify

This is happening EVERY login, so I thought you should be awre and check out your program to see if it has been infected.

thanks for your attention, hope this was the right place to post this, if it isn't, someone please forward it to the correct authorities for this forum.

We're working on that, too. Unfortunately, hackers like this usually hide their tracks well...through anonymous proxie servers and fake accounts...

Yep, my antivirus tells me that he likes to redirect this forum.

A different warning today, but still a virus...

If somebody gets here naked (without a good antirus), he should check his computer.

Probably those Babushkas again. For some reason they don't like woodcarvers!
