Hey guys,
One member just mentioned that they're getting a virus/trojan horse warning when entering this site. I have virus software installed on my pc, and not getting the message. Any one else?

I'm not getting any warning (yet).
I tried on two separate computers - one with Norton and one with Microsoft Forefront

I'm thinking that the users browser has been hijacked.

So I have experienced something similar on another discussion forum.
It turned out that it was one particular advertisement on the ad rotator that was somehow falsely triggering the virus warning.
Since the ad. would appear intermittently and randomly, it was hard to track down.
Once the admins removed that add, everything was ok.

Yes, I just got word that the warning was from the javascript to display the banner ad above. Going to dig into it further.
