Microsoft Security Essentials popped up and said it had detected *Trojan: Win32/Jpgiframe.A* specifically and had quarantined it.

I then checked the box next to it and deleted totally from computer.

This happened a total of 6 times within about 3 minutes while I was viewing the latest post page.

Hasn't occurred since.

A little concerned about what the hell happened.

I just logged on to FR at about 10:30 and saw this warning, checked my MSE and found the virus. Eliminated it, but it’s on the main page somewhere-I hadn’t clicked on any posts yet. Is Jim Rob responsible for checking this?

Cajun, I’ve seen that before.....often these malware detectors will hit on a jpeg with a active link embedded. just like FR does for their “click to donate” pictures. You can set the detector to ignore it if it bugs you, which is what I did when the issue came up. It’s more or less a nuisance trip and not really a danger.
