    Thanks for checking, Hal, it was beyond my level of expertise. I've been ignoring it when it pops up. This is a used computer, i've already replaced the hard drive once, it's not a big deal to replace if I'd gotten trashed again. But it's good to know it hasn't really been at risk.

    The last 3 times I've come to this site, Norton has issued a warning:

    "Norton blocked an attack by Web Attack: Exploit Toolkit Website 67"

    I'm running IE7 and Norton...

    I've seen this warning before when visiting this site and have never seen it when visiting any other site.

    After seeing Kyle's post I updated my antivirus (I do it manually as it sucks so much bandwidth it really interferes if I am actually working) and I reloaded the page and I am not seeing any warnings.

    My bookmark for this site is the "new threads" page. Whenever there are no new threads to display, Avast antivirus gives a warning about the page. This started recently, though it has happened in the past as well.

    Kyle - can you check again? There was a corrupted file in our vBulletin installation that's now been replaced.

    I am getting the same warning through my Norton 360 software. See that attached screenshot of the warning.

    I'm still getting the virus warning, only when I access the new posts link (http://eaaforums.org/search.php?do=g...e=vBForum_Post) and there are no new posts to view. Avast pops up with this:

    Interesting. I checked, and yes, I do get this warning when there are no new posts to view use the "New Posts" function.
