Your website has been infected with a Javascript Trojan thus every page is affected which uses JS. It's not just me, because I only receive the anti-virus warning and luckily NOD32 picks it up remove the virus on this site (I personally disabled Javacript for this website until you guys fix it), and I checked my processes nothing unusual running, so NOD32 seems to of caught it all.

Here is a print screen of it:

Yes, this has been reported in the questions and answers thread.  The mods know about it.

If they know about is, why don't they disable Javascript in the meantime before it's fixed. This site has probably infected quite a few people's computers, the least they can do is stop any further infections.

I'm not in charge of the site's technical maintenance, but I've come here quite a few times in Windows XP, and my own security never reported anything running -- likewise, I've come quite a few times in OS X, and never spotted anything amiss up to when people mentioned it just a short time ago. Even now, I still have never seen anything myself, so considering that and the prevalence of security systems nowadays, I'm not sure I would conclude that a ton of people have been infected by it.

That said, I'm sure the administration will resolve this as soon as possible.

Oh, that would explain why every time I go to a new page on here, a window pops up that says THREAT WAS BLOCKED!, and I can't see the entire page. :( Oh, well, I hope it gets fixed soon.

My computers actually block the whole website, I have to post on my iPod.

If you go directly to the forum and bypass the main page (view the forum without the frame here: http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php ) you won't be affected by the virus.

@yeswonderful, I tried that, and it didn't work. I'll just have to tolerate the problem, I suppose. Here's to hoping it gets fixed soon. :-\

I can confirm that does not work.  Whatever code is wrong is on the forum page itself.

Norton's complaining on the main page for me, not just the forum page.

Drat. Wonder what it is about Tagg and me that it works, but doesn't for others. I'm using Chrome and have ESET NOD32 antivirus. Doesn't pick up anything.

I get no warnings if I use Chrome--from the browser or antivirus program.  I suspect it has to do with what Chrome loads.  Firefox, IE, and Opera all give warning to the site as infected; Firefox and IE trigger my antivirus program, Opera does not but has a red status bar saying the site is infected.  It might do what Chrome does and doesn't attempt to load some parts.

Just because its not showing up doesn't mean its not there.  ;)

I get no warning of viruses when I use Chrome as well. I guess I will just have to use that instead. Also, I have Avast! as a virus detector.
