The particular file is now replaced. I am rather ignorant about computer matters, I'm told that virus is selfgenerating or so and it will probably reappear. I must find time to delete complete Problem Online and upload it again. If someone is interested, there is a backup of the whole site updated 19.08.2009. (lacking two later updates): http://www.nikola-predrag.from.hr/problemonline_2004-2008/index.htm . I hope there are no viruses.

Alexander, and I ask you not to spread fears: http://community.livejournal.com/ru_chess_art/ is perfectly clean.

Your tool (burbon) is the total garbage: it complains to http://www.cnn.com, http://www.abcnews.com, http://www.lenta.ru among others.

It should be no wonder that FIDE site is infected with virus. After all, FIDE itself is a big virus.

Thanks for warning about k4it, Arpad Rusz, greek and Lorinc site which I use sometimes!

Hmmmm, I see... I have heard in the past there are some security issues with Tripod. As I use no active scripts on the page, it is all provider's fault. Of course, who I am to blame free service... Anyway, I was thinking about moving to my own domain for a long time and switch should be quite easy as no programming is involved, just copying the files. It will take some time to switch, but then I will surely let everybody know about new address.

I would block free access to this on-line virus checking site (http://burbon.ru/sites/virus.php) if it gives such results.
There are fake anti-virus programs (which are the virus itself), I would name this site
as fake on-line virus checking site and do not trust its results.

If you are afraid to be infected, install antivirus program on your computer,
regularly update its virus databases, install firewall. Finally, turn off javascript in your browser and serf the internet safely.

There is russian popular proverb: Волков бояться - в лес не ходить.
Most close english equivalent (from www.idiomcenter.com): Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

This burbon gave message that the page http://burbon.ru/sites/virus.php itself is also infected. That’s funny!
