When opening my web site the virus detection alerts to a Bloodhound.Exploit.56 virus found. Once deleted it appears to be fine. I checked all the files on my site and can't find any that shouldn't be there.
Any ideas or help on this?
Thanks

Internet Explorer users are reporting the same when logging in to my site. It doesn't seem to be affecting Firefox users. I'm not sure what to tell my users other than switch to Firefox for security reasons..... I'm not sure if it matters but my site is hosted on Cluster03.

This tells about the Windows exploit. The problem is on your computer. Once you update your antivirus software, rescan your hard drive and let the software do its job, your website should be okay in Internet Explorer as well as Firefox. Other people can view your website in IE and not have a problem, if/because their computers were not infected.

Thanks everyone
Sounds like my site is ok and is just a computer problem.
I use NOD and it caught it and removed it but a person with norton told me it caught it but then came up again so I told them to scan for it and remove it.

I had the same thing happen to my site over the weekend. I opened my index file and found a link to <iframe src=http://www.tgp.la ... I did not put this on my page!
apparently there is an infected file called n.wmf at that location. I took out the unwanted line of code in my home page and it fixed the problem - at least for now. But I still don't know how someone got into my site and changed the code in my home page.

Sometimes hackers find your file path info and login info when you use forums or open source CMS such as phpbb or phpnuke. Sometimes hackers find your file path from your webstats which should be password-protected and blocked from search engine robots with robots.txt files.
