If any of the mods (or even AnthonyF) from B5TV are around, you may be interested to know that on attempting to visit the site a few minutes ago I received a pop-up detailing that a site called greatx2008.com required a new ActiveX player to be installed.
It appears that this has happened to a number of forums, and stems from an injection hack designed to get users to a spam website where they can be infected with Spyware.
Here is a link to one such victim, with some more information
Here is the Norton SafeWeb page about the threat.
Sorry to bug a completely separate board with this, but I figured many of the users here would also be users there and would need a heads up, and I have no intention of re-visiting the site to try and post the warning there, given the potential for infection.
Hopefully, someone her has an e-mail address or another way of contacting an admin over there to do something about it.
Cheers,
GH
