The last three days I've had my anti-virus program warn me of 11 different Trojan Horse viruses that I've then stored in the "vault" every time I access TER.

When I click to access TER it will load VERY slowly, then I get a warning chime from my anti virus program.

This has NOT occured with any other website that I access.  

 I’ve notified one moderator; but yet to get a reply.

My anti-virus program has been blocking "Malicious Toolkit Downloads" from www.advabanr.com though port 2597 when I access TER.  I haven't done much research into what's happening but it appears to be related to one of the banner ads.

I usually go straight to the Boston board.  Lately, if it loads completely, it immediately shuts down FireFox.  I'm asked if I want to restore the session and I get back in with no further problems.  When I close next time, I sometimes get a warning of a javascript virus found and denied.

It all appears to be related to some ad site.

whose link is found at the top of the page. I also detected & blocked a trojan horse virus yesterday. As for slow access, I only get that on the discussion boards.

Yes, I have been having problems too.  I have scanned my computer for viruses a few times.  Thank goodness nothing was found.

My anti-virus software notified me that they had blocked an intruder. Happened on the Phoenix discussion board.  Scanned entire ststem, nothing found.

Mine has happened several times when accessing the Newbie board as well as the General Discussion board.

I'm no digerati, and concerned/confused by what I should do with all these "vaulted" viruses. My program offers "Restore" "Delete" Rescan" and "Send to analysis" at bottom in light grey boxes, and "Empty vault" in a sharp black box and lettering.

My anti-virus program is AGV-free.

They eradicated it once yesterday, but it appeared again today - they are trying to determine the root cause.....

Moving TER from Windows platform is not probable!

I guess this explains why I was getting some random Fiefox browser closing a couple of times over the last couple of days.   What is strange is that my AVG Virus, Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy scans says there is no issue.
