What's going on tonight? 3 times so far tonight while fisiting PF forums, I have had Norton Antivirus report that it fixed problems, one was "C:\WINDOWS\alevir.exe"
Is PF prone to virii like this or am I getting it from other sources? Most of the time when browsing I don't get these announcements (as long as I keep the firewall up).

alevir.exe is actually a virus called W32/Opaserv-A. You are getting this message because you are likely already infected. Please visit this site for removal instructions (provided by Sophos). If you do not wish to use the removal instructions provided by Sophos, there is likely a similar tool available at your antivirus software vendor's website.

NAV already took care of it. I found it curious though that NAV had to fix it 3 times while browsing here at PF.
