I hope this is the right place for this question.

I purchased a premium worpress theme last night and uploaded it to my website. Added adbrite and goodle adsense advertisements, and now my members are complaining of a virus coming from the main site. What could cause this, and what should I do?

TIA!

Some advertises put spyware / java script injections to exploit peoples computers, If you use firefox you can filter this out using NoScript. Stick to AdSense i know they wont bundle anything in there ads.

Viruii can't be embedded into html 'docs' however, only an n00b will open a executable without scanning it.

While viruses can't be embedded in a HTML doc, malicious javascript that downloads the virus can be embedded.

Look through the source code (from a browser view) for any iframes or script tags that you didn't specifically put there.

Other than that, you'll have to provide the URL and we'll scan it for you - no charge!

Let us know...
