Virus on forum?

[Kerry & Kathy]

Anybody else getting a virus warning when visiting the forum?

I use AVG 2012 virus software and have been getting a warning for a:

Exploit JavaScript Obfuscation (type 1938)

Suspect file is:

I haven't received a warning lately (I'm on my work laptop and they have a pretty secure network).

No warning here either Kerry. Secured server, not sure what we are currently running for antivirus.

The warning only occurred once this morning and AVG immediately quarantined and removed the virus.

I then did a search on the "Exploit JavaScript Obfuscation" virus and learned that it is the #2most frequently seen virus and that it is the #1 fastest growing virus as of May.

Just curios if anyone else had seen it.

BTW I just recently upgraded my level of protection earlier this week when I found seven trojans and five viruses on my hard drive...so it is possible that older versions may not recognize the virus.

Might be a good time to get all current updates of whatever software you are using.
