Database Error! Need Help ASAP.

I was thinking maybe my host/server had issues, but only one of my sites is receiving this error. Can't open posts or threads. Chatbox works fine. Here is what I get when I try to open a post or thread:

Is this something that can be repaired? Am I missing a current patch? Or is this a virus?

Your immediate help is appreciated!

Try using Repair/Optimize tables under Maintenance in the adminCP. It looks like the post table is causing the error.

You can also use phpmyadmin if you have that setup. Most control panels include this by default.
