Hi, its been a while since I had 2.0 RC3 installed, so today one of my members posted the following message:

Just installed Norton Safe Web and when I came on GC, received the following alert:



Threat Report
Total threats found: 1


  Drive-By Downloads (what's this?)
Threats found: 1
Here is a complete list:

Threat Name:  HTTP Fake AV Redirect Request 
Location:  http://mywebsite.com/forum/?bdoc=texas+lottery+winning+numbers

im not so sure about what the URL after the forum/, but when I tried to go to that url, it simply redirected me to the main page of the forum, so im wondering, is it a bug in the SMF software or is the forum infected with something?

What mods do you have installed?

You might also want to let your host know so they can run an AV scan.

Yes, he means Anti Virus (AV) Scan.
