Virus or Trojan on the Forum?
Yeratel:
Every time I've gone onto jimbutcheronline.com today to get into the forums, I get a warning message from Norton Antivirus that JS.Downloader, a javascript program listed as a threat has been blocked. I haven't gotten that prompt on any other website but this one. Not sure if it's a coincidence, or not, but I clicked on several other web sites in a row, then came back here, and got the warning again. I'm doing a full system scan on my PC now, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.
*Edit- I did some further experimenting. I don't get the warning message when I go to the main Jim Butcher page, www.jim-butcher.com, only when I click to go to the Forums at www,jimbutcheronline.com, and again when I clicked to go to this particular forum for Suggestions and Support. This didn't occur when I was here yesterday, so something has changed since then.

I've hunted through the actual PHP source code on the site, and haven't found any references to JS.Downloader. If it's there, I'm not sure HOW it's there.
Anyone able to tell me anything?
iago:
Hmmm, sonofa -- I may have found something in the code somewhere. Stay tuned.
iago:
I THINK I've managed to scrub it all out. Anyone seeing any remaining signs?

I'm not getting any more warning messages, so it looks like that fixed it, thanks! :)
