This forum is on the brink of extinction

I run Microsoft Security Essentials for my anti-virus software. Starting a day or so ago, it's been detecting and quarantining an item on every page I go to on Doom. I don't notice a problem on any other website I go to, and I go to some really really questionable and despicable sites. So I'm thinking this may be a legitimate issue and not just a false positive.

What's happening, from what I can understand, is that when I go to a page on Doom, my computer caches it on my hard drive, and Security Essentials scans and detects a problem with it, and promptly quarantines it. Again, this happens on every page I go to. This suggests some questionable HTML at the root level (involving Iframes).

Now I'm afraid to go to my own web site, because I know Greg and I use the same ISP. If it's got the same problem, then our ISP has once again been hacked.

Okay, just checked my website. It seems okay.

Here's what Security Essentials is reporting for Doom:

I'm nobody's pony.
