Both times I logged on my Avast caught a virus. It's the only time I have ever had a virus notification on this computer.

Should I be worried and stop logging on here?

Nope. Avast did its job and contained the bug.

Well... it stopped THIS bug...

This is the THIRD time a file has been infected. There is obviously a vector from some hacker to this site and they are trying different viruses and trojans.

Sooner or later the attacker will find one your software doesn't stop. Terb admins need to step up here and identify the source of these infections and put a convincing end to it.

Somewhere somehow either the site has been hacked in a way that allows the attacker to upload the threats, or the machine of someone who edits these files has been infected in a way that gives the attacker full control over that machine.

I think your systems may have been infected long ago and simply are pointing to your access to TERB as a porn adware, registry entry, hense the warnings continue. Not TERB itself.

Finding one trojan that has already been replicated doesn't stop the original trojan file from replicating again. Find the files in YOUR system and state what they are, especially the .xxx etension.

For example:

.net
.tmp
.lop
.exe

If you can actually provide the full file name with the .xxx extension, that sure would be better for sys admins, if TERB was hacked. Thanks. I also recommend a clean sweep in your system. In Windows, they end up in your users -> apps/temp file.
