Virus? Or...

Hi, a few of my users have been reporting to me that Mcafee is detecting a virus on our forums, which it comes up as this:
http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default. ... s_k=141981

My question is, is this a legit threat, or is it Mcafee thinking nothing is something? Because other av programs are not seeing it.

My forums are http://www.thefallen.info. THanks for help.

I got the same error when I opened your site.
As soon as the "install activex" bar comes at the top of the screen, Mcafee is triggered for trojan.

Whatever is on your site requiring installation of "Microsoft HTML Help Control" sets it off.
Remove that and will remove the error. Or find something else to replace it.

God I hate those Active-X controls... they already have a BAD BAD history of transmitting Trojans and viruses... why do they keep developing them?
