Bananas.org - View Single Post - Possible Nasty Computer Virus In A Thread

Yesterday, I went to our banana.org web site. I think I just clicked on the main discussion menu, and immediately, pop up boxes came up and said that they were scanning my computer and my files and a virus was detected. At the same time, my Norton Utitilites told me that a virus was just blocked. The pop up boxes wanted me to click on the "Fix Now" boxes, but I didn't. I just closed them. I believe the pop-up saying that I had a virus was the actual virus or the prompt to get me to download the virus. It looked very real like it was from Microsoft's virus blocker. I'm not too worried about it because my Norton caught it, but I thought everyone should know.
