Default Virus/Trojan from overclockers.com

Like to title said. It has been in the last 4-5 weeks. Most caught and cleaned my Symantec.

what virus scan software version/browser/OS are you using? No issues with OC.com here

McAfee and Kaspersky find nothing

Symantec antivirus V10.1.5 for XP and 10.2 for Vista.

It does not happen all the time; it has been on and off for the last few weeks. I did not pay attention to it since the virus was cleaned; and I deleted them. It happened again before my original post here. If it happens again, I will drop a note to Ed, or is there any guy named "Joe".

Happened again this morning. From overclockers.com front page prompted for Active DirectX run, click ok, explorer shuts down and Bloodhound.exe was caught and cleaned by Symantec.

It seems one of their adv gif file is the cause.
