    Exclamation Trojan Horse Infection from This Board - Active X Control

    While browsing the Org this afternoon, I was presented with a standard Windows message box, asking me if I wanted to load an Active X control. The only available button was OK. I instead chose to close the window using the X in the upper right corner.

    This closed my browser (Explorer; I really don't want to hear all the blah about what browsers to use in this thread please ...), and I immediately got an AVG warning that it had detected a Trojan Horse. I quarantined it, and then snapped this screenshot so I could post it here.



    No other applications were open. When I came back to post this warning, it happened again. I thought it would be prudent for me to alert those who run this board as well as the other patrons here. Heads up.

    ***

    EDIT: I should clarify my title here: It seems the virus originated from this site, but there are many possibilities. I do know that I was browsing here only, hadn't been bouncing around to other sites in a while, no other apps were running, and it happened twice.
