I’ve taken the liberty of moving this thread to a more correct sub-forum; hopefully one of the Admins will see it soon. I too am getting a virus notification from my Norman Antivirus program; it appears to be a Trojan of the type ‘JS/Exploit_based’. Norman has the following to say about this Trojan:

�This is a small piece of javascript code that is sometimes used to break through the security in Internet Explorer. Usually the code is used in connection with "planting" new default start pages, search bars, and favourites to your browser without you knowing about it.

The script does this using a bug in Internet Explorer, and it is the code to "use" this bug that we detect.

It is important to understand that while the script in most cases does not constitute more than an annoyance, it _may_ be used for more destructive actions.�


Will one of the Admins please have a look at this? Thank you.
