Potential Virus Threat
Both Internet Explorer and McAfee blocked several viruses and trojan horses when visiting the site tonight. From SRP Home > Library > Videos
then all the alarms went off. If interested, I can attempt to recreate session to get exact warnings, scriptnames, filenames, etc.

The only file available on that page is the download/high version. I just downloaded it and got no virus warning. I also ftp'ed it from the site and checked it and it was clean. You are about the 3rd person in the past 18-months to indicate a virus in this area. The file has been downloaded hundreds of time by others without incident over that same period. I don't doubt that your virus checker sounded an alarm, but I don't believe the file is faulty. There are no guarantees in this business, so I'd never say never. Can you tell me what virus was reported?

Sorry, I should qualify that by saying I just tried it again now and nothing happened. However, I am currently on a University machine behind their firewall, so ...
