Default My computer picked up a virus from this site!!!

I was looking on the forums and my Symantec Virus protection went crazy on the thread about the 2009 350Z focus group. It was defined as a Torjan virus.

Make sure your virus protection is updated!!!

Never had this problem in the past! Even with all the crazy crap in the AG section!!!

The only pic is from that new photoshop of the 240z. Not 100% but it came from this site. I had just opened my browser and was reading that thread first. It was a good thing I caught the virus quickly because it had locked me out of both firefox and IE.

I was getting worried since it is my company laptop. My outlook mail server wouldn't even connect with the company server via my VPN.
