A trojan visited?

I noticed a problem when I visited my blog yesterday (please note it was my first visit in quite a few weeks).  As soon as my blog loaded, my popup stopper said it had blocked something, and Windows OneCare said it had detected Trojan:JS/Agent.FA.  Now, anything with the word “trojan” in it is rarely good news, so I picked apart my blog, removed and reloaded different items, and the culprit turned out to be a snippet of code from Widgetbox.  I’m sure it was a false positive reading from OneCare, but regardless, I removed the code because the message was annoying and repetitive.  I’ve had the Widgetbox code on my blog for a good year without a problem.  WIDGETBOX ASSURES ME (repeatedly and sometimes rudely) THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THEIR CODE.  They also let me know that reporting such issues to companies is generally unappreciated, so I guess I’ll stop trying to be helpful and I’ll just keep rescuing animals.  There’s no question about which is more rewarding.

Long story short?  I’m sorry if any of you saw the trojan message, sorry if it worried or inconvenienced you, and promise it was nothing I had any control over.  And as I said previously, if you’re worried about removing something like that, please just ask smile
