Trojan Virus on the Forums

MuTLY

<div class="IPBDescription">Found by Norton Safe Web</div>Hello,

Everytime I access the Unknown Worlds website, Norton alerts me theres a trojan virus on it.

Here's the report: <a href="http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=unknownworlds.com" target="_blank">http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=unknownworlds.com</a>

It appears that someone at the forums uploaded - mostly intentionally - a GIF file that does exploit some old browsers like IE6.

The location of the GIF file is this, accordingly to the report above: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/uploads/av-8010%20.gif" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/uploads/av-8010 .gif</a>

Webmaster, please, take actions. And you out there, using Internet Explorer 6, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Go use a real browser, like Firefox 3.

Best regards,

Mutly

EDIT: change the GIF location address so you can't click on it...

Thanks, we removed it.

I still have this detected by norton 360 v3 from time to time, when just reading the forum!

Perhaps this point isn't being recognized, but after you said the problem was resolved... it occurred again... See: the time listed in the log and on the windows 7 taskbar, in the screenshot.
