Virus Warning?

When opening the main page just now (messageboard.tapeop.com) I got a Windows prompt asking to change something on my computer. I did not recognize the hyperlink, rejected the change, and then Kaspersky Anti-Virus kicked in, noting:

detected: Trojan program Exploit.Java.Agent.ca
file: (http)://homcp.info/x/f15.zip/sunny/Changes.class

Hopefully no one else is getting viruses from TapeOp. Or is this benign? I've put the "http"s in parentheses so they don't show up as hyperlinks.

google chrome just gave me a suspicious site warning and said that the site was linked to malware.

Yup, got the same thing for the first time today. Avast blocked it. Strange...

Firefox blocked the page as well. I used the alternate link from the main page and that seemed to work fine. Maybe a new banner, spammer poster or something else inserting some malware? Hopefully it's sorted out soon.

Per Microsoft Security Essentials:

Threat: severe

Exploit:Win32/CVE21011885.a

MSSE removed it.

I hope this helps!

With both Chrome and MSSE warning of a problem, I notified the board administrator.
