Virus from beyond3d?

[Broken Hope]

Every time I come to this site my anti virus pops up a warning saying that I-worm/Bofra is detected in my temporary internet files.

It only happens when I visit this site.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

no.

I'd say your antivirus program is borked. Which one are you using?

Consider using ad blocking software. Speeds up surfing and may offer some protection against hazards like this.

If I remember correctly, the hacker Fluffy Bunny once hacked an ad network to display his own banners. You can't deny there is some style in a stunt like that even if you don't condone hacking .

I definitely got a virus/spyware when visiting the B3D forums over the week-end. A file bla.exe suddenly appeared on my c:\ and my firewall reported that this very file tried to access the Internet.
