My members have been complaining for the past week that when using IE as their browser, the forum keeps redirecting them to "advne.net/ads.html"

Then this morning I got a PM from a user telling me that his work computer was throwing virus (trojan) warnings about the forum:

Severity: security alert (5)
Message: Web Traffic Scanning Alert
Infection: http://www.<forumname>.com/vBulletin/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=365Object
name: Trojan-Downloader.JS.Iframe.aqkAction: Malicious content was blocked

Does anyone know what this is about and what I can do about it? I use vB 3.6.5

Please help, thanks!!

First - upgrade your VB version. :) While doing, safe all uploaded files specially the named one "vbulletin_global.js" for a future analysis.

And I recommend reinstalling all addons by overwriting all existing files.
