Default Malware

Just a general FYI it was reported that HRT was serving malware.

We immediately found and fixed the issue, we just have to wait before Google relists us.

Apparently one of the forum software plugins we installed that improves the quick editor area contained an exploit that injected some cookies into the header.

Should be 100% solved now.

I didn't see any unusual things in my header. What did happen was my toolbar disappeared, leaving only the refresh button, url, and Bing. Using Firefox. The solution is simple. Just hit the alternate key, a tool bar will appear, then on that toolbar, goto view > toolbars > menu bar. Be sure menu bar is checked and everything seems back to normal.
