Virus Threat Detected

Hi

I only ever post on Bankruptcy so I just wanted to warn everyone my anti virus is flagging a threat on the board. It is saying "link to known exploit site".

It was as soon as I clicked on the forum icon on the right hand corner of the home page. I am currently running a scan, and will post what it turns up. Don't want to alarm anyone, just thought it better to share

I just had similar threat flagged up, when I clicked the mse forums link from my favorites. It was BLOODHOUND.EXPLOIT.193 , when I clicked it again after the file had been deleted, it worked ok.

AVG flagged it up for me as well, I logged out and back on and it seems ok now?

I am still really new-is there admin or mods that it can be reported to?

Slightly off topic but this thread has made me realise I don't have any anti virus stuff on my computer. What free stuff would you guys recommend please??
