    Today I noticed when I pulled up my personal blog http://www.mackconsult.com/ that a pop up was occurring that required me to download the VIO player. I immediately started looking around in my browser for plugins, and also my computer for malicious software. Some quick google searches and I found that this is a server side thing, and when I clicked on it AVG caught the exec that downloads as a Trojan. It goes away after about 1 minute, but appears every time a refresh occurs.

    Here is a screen shot.

    I went back into my server and immediately changed the password, also locked my drives on the server that are encrypted.

    You are using WordPress 3.3.2

    I know I can just delete the whole wordpress installation and rebuild everything from the ground up and chances are this would fix the issue. But if I am able to fix this manually I would like to do that instead.
