Ok, so Norton just alerted me to a new trojan on my computer while surfing the boards. It seems to effect a file in "WINDOWS/System32/" called "svchosts.exe". It keeps giving me warnings and tries to make Windows restart. Eep!

Just thought I'd let everyone know that there might possibly be another virus.

I ran a scan on this end, nothing from FR that I can tell.  We'll keep a lookout but I'm not sure it came from here.

Good idea to also make note what thread exactly causes any warning.  While the virus may not be hosted on the FR server, it could always be hidden on an outside link you clicked while surfing FR.
Here's something for the more technically knowledgable: Can a malicious file be triggered from code in a signature?
