Trojans in link on this site

from WinCustomize Forums
I didn't know where to put this to get the attention of the mod's in a hurry, so I'm doing this.

Link (The forum link, NOT the one with the Trojans)

This link is for the forum thread. Sir Bichur's posted link within that thread is the problem one. It was posted for tutorial/help info. I clicked on it and promptly had 4 trojan warnings along with a script prompt box that had a bunch of odd characters.

Just thought you'd want to know. I'm sure Bichur doesn't want people thinking he gave them a virus or 4

Thanks,
PC

I clicked the link that you had provided and McAfee freaked out.

I'll check it out again. You didn't click it did you? I'm running a full scan now.

Freakin' virus'! I will never understand why people do that.

I see you removed it.

I didn't get a warning of any kind until I had clicked that link and went to the site it directed me to. Then I got blasted.

It's cool though, I'm protected. I was just worried about others.

Hey DF! guess what I finally found on one of the 11 disks I attempted to make before my computer crashed.

I just installed McAfee and it's up to date.

I can't imagine that many false positives in a row. I wish I would have written down the names of the Trojans. I checked McAfee and it doesn't make a log file of prevented virus'. Just ones that are quarantined.

I had Avast and that logged everything, if I remember right. I get McAfee anti-virus and, firewall included with my MSN Premium Subscription so I figured I'd try it.

what browser? I'm using FF with pop up blocked (IE for when I use it, is set for blocking pop ups)

been to that link more than once, never got a warning, nothing ever showed up on scans

I'm using I.E. and my popup blocker is on too.

A script prompt dialog box popped up first with a bunch of strange characters and then the virus alerts started.

It's too bad. I was hoping to find some tutorials there.
