Possible Security Issue

I purchased VBulletin several years ago.

Currently using Version 3.6.7

I have not upgraded because I use it for a Tech Support BB and thought all would be well.

I just upgraded to Kaspersky 9.0 and it reports that access to my VBulletin contains a link to 78.110.75.21 and has been identified as a site that steal passwords, credit card numbers, etc.

I ran some software that captures all network traffic and monitored communication with my site and VBulliten. In the middle of the page load - thers was a lot of data transferred to THAT IP address.

I called the people who host my site and asked if THEY were injecting this detour or communication. Their reply was NO. They said that they have seen hackers inject java scripts into BB to accomplish things like this.

So ... Now I am asking the folks at VBulletin if this is YOUR communication or is it a real security issue?

Will an upgrade to the latest release address this?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
