What's up? Is there a virus here? Anyone else getting the same alert?

I haven't seen anything like that. If anyone else does, could you post the details here, or send me a message?
I got that notice too when opening this site today; my anti-virus program (Avast!) said that it just blocked a Trojan horse virus.

I got it 15" ago. It was Blackhole Exploit Kit Detection. It is the #3 virus/threat at AVG.
Something strange happened late last night as I was finishing up here. A single line message/warning displayed across the screen. It consisted of a message (don't remember what it said), and a series of HTML slashes, dots, etc. I was unable to access the forum after that.
Prior to the message displaying, pages were loading excessively slow, then not at all.
For the first time, I was just notified upon accessing this site, that Norton had stopped a virus. I took a few seconds to locate a piece of paper to copy down the Norton message, so noted only that the last words were "web toolkit 20."
I have the notepaper handy now.
Just happened again. Norton identified it as Blackhole Tool Kit Website 20.
AVG, just notified me (upon logging-in on the forum), that a thread was blocked.
Which thread?
I'm sorry, Alan, I see I made a boo-boo in my spelling. I meant to say, threat. http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticon...gif?1292867583
