Hey, no worries, Railfun – if it wasn’t for your comments, it would have taken me a lot longer to find the problem – I always use Firefox to surf the web, which wasn’t affected by the virus – so the whole time I was unaware of any problems until I heard about it from the users.

It was some kind of scripting vulnerability – not sure if it was specific to WordPress or what, but it inserted a script reference into the header of the website that affected every page that loaded up. Since upgrading our WordPress installation (and changing our passwords, of course) things seem to be clean…but be always vigilant! If it’s not viruses, it’s zombies.

thanks guys. I’m glad I came back to see what was going on here. Sorry about badmouthing you but I thought it was the admins. Hope you’ll forgive me.
