Editblog system troubles

I’ve had a number of people let me know that when they try to visit some pages on the Editblog that their virus software goes crazy. Apparently some spammer has put something on the server that triggers this. It also happens if you try to access a directory that doesn’t exist … you get redirected to some site that says you have a virus on your computer. This has happened despite my best efforts to install some plug-ins in WordPress to try and stop this kind of thing. This may have happened outside of WordPress. I’ve alerted my hosting company and they seemed concerend and are working on fixing the problem. I guess this is why system administrators are nice to have around …. Thanks to those who let me know about this problem as I haven’t seen it on my end.

UPDATE: I had a note from Dylan about the problem possibly lying in the theme so I switched back to an old one until I have time to trouble shoot more …
