when clicking on the link (top sticky in florida conch divers section) http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/fl...n-recipes-killing-techniques-information.html
you get redirected to Wetwebmedia, Aquarium, Pond, Marine and Freshwater Fish, reef tanks, and Aquatics Information and it is using a few known holes in ie8 (fixed with updates) to inject malicious code that downloads the security tools virus....

For the sake of members running windows pc's please look at the code in that portion of the site and remove the redirect :) thanks

from and old GeekSquad Agent :admingreet:
 
per the admins request, heres what happens when you click on the link to go to the lionfish page. Any windows pc is vulnerable as it exploits holes in web browser security (mac users need not worry) If you use the browser google chrome it will stop you from loading the page but all other browsers (opera, safari, IE8&9, firefox, netscape) will fully load the page and allow the malicious script to run...
