Already another thread or two asking the same thing, so it must be happening again to several of us! Went over to a few other Vette forums and all is fine, so maybe Internet Brands got attacked again!
The problems with this site are really getting out of control.

It seems to have just come back to normal function.
Most of the day it was pretty much unusable. Earlier today I also had Norton NAV block a Trojan virus generated by this site, just like others have reported.

Same thing happened to me. Was wondering were the virus was coming from. It is this site! That really blows.

There is a sticky on the problem. Apparently it has been cleared up. I asked a question about it last night to the administrator and received a extremely rude response from the forum. I have to believe they had their share of problems with the virus because usually administrators of forum are respectful to members. They have done a great job of clearing up the virus.

Yes, I'm periodically unable to bring-up a subsequent page. I found many of the Internet Brand web sites 'under attack' a few days back during the height of the outage. Evidently it's still happening to a lesser extent and worse (see below).
I've had six or seven virus attempts blocked over the past two days. I believe they're using a Flash Player exploit. I don't know that it will help for sure but I clear out (hidden) temporary user application files (from Flash Player) more regularly and I've also changed settings from within the Flash Player Global Storage Settings panel to disallow third-party shared objects on my machine.
Blocking access to the website is one thing but these virus attacks are making it more personal. Somebody must have it 'in' for Internet Brands. I hope their tech people can get it together and filter these threats out before it reaches the users.

I'm having the same navigation issues and using two different computers today, one w/McAfee one w/Norton, both fended off attempts to invade.
Seems to be working fine tonight but later I will do a full system scan again as a precaution.
I appreciate the efforts to keep the Forum humming.
