Hello friends,
since two days, if I open the forum it will download a script file analytics.js from a.sitmeter.com.
What is this? Is it a trojan or virus?
I happens by using IE or AOL browser.
Firefox and Chrome nothing visible.

Sitemeter script is loaded for as long as I remember, nothing new here. It does some statistical analysis of the visitors. I believe you should see the sitemeter icon (clickable) at the very bottom of the page.
-
I have also been getting this on my windows phone for the last two days (never happened before).
It's quite annoying because every time I open a page I get an error message saying the file is not recognised and I have to press "back" to view the page.
It's only a minor annoyance because I don't usually use my phone to check the forums.
-
means IT-people has to check it. I have it on several computers if using IE or AOL browser.

OK, thanks for letting me know. Due to the way things are configured I don't see it, so I was not aware of the problems.
For now the script is switched off, I will put it back online in a week from now - please keep me posted in case of any problems. Chances are it is some kind of a transient problem.
-
Script is back on line, please report here if it gives you any problems.

Fine on my phone now.
