    Trojan?

    When I opened this forum just now my antivirus said it detected, blocked, and treated a trojan named vbulletin_read_marker

    I have never had this happen before. I closed the window & re opened it & this time it opened normally.

    Edit - Check that. This time the popup window was behind the browser. I get the message every time I open the forum.

    Which browser are you using? I don't see anything like that using Firefox.

    I get a "virus/malware blocked" notice regularly from this site.

    vbulletin_read_marker is not a "trojan." It's a small piece of JavaScript the forum software uses to support the "mark as read" feature. Your malware alerter is a little too sensitive.
