I just received emails from two users who said that my forums has a virus in it. I'm trying to get more details, but has anyone else heard of this?
Not quite sure how a forum could host a virus unless the site had been compromised, and I have no indication of that.

Possible that files have had malicious code insterted into them.
Find out exactly where they were browsing when it happened then download new copy from the Members area here and upload the affected file overwriting what's on your server.
Then follow these tips:

Can you link your website either here, or a private message? I would be happy to investigate, and tell you possibilities of where the exploitation is.

Make sure that you have got a good quality anti virus software on your pc. One that will catch the bug before it hits your pc.
