I haven't received this message.

You should ask the admin.

the key to your problem might be in the URL. I have never heard of hxxp.

Further brief reading on internet yield info that hxxp may originate with the forum admin as a way of blocking undesirable links or to keep web bots from glomming on to site info. Who knows??

I have not had this problem yet.

I had two hits this afternoon that were caught by Norton. I reported them to Admin.

And like another poster, it told me to shut down the website.

hxxp:// Prefix - Am I infected? What do I do? (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/540371/hxxp-prefix/)

Maybe The site above will help. I'm using an iPad so I'm safe.

Which antivirus/malware software programs were flagging TOTV? In order to fix the problem it may be necessary to know.

We are researching and running scans. So far google scan shows no viruses.
