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.

I also had two hits and infection was healed. I shutdown this website.

hxxp:// Prefix - Am I infected? What do I do?

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

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

TOTV Team 08-22-2014 10:46 AM

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