malware attack through the orchid board?

[prem]

I have had it happen twice now that when I've surfed to the orchid board that some sort of Java plug-in installation initiates itself and dumps malware onto my system...several trojans and a virus. I also end up getting some sort of cookie error display code coming from the board .php script that accompanies this.

The odd thing is that I'm using Firefox, which should be more secure.

The board admin(s) may want to investigate this further and see if there have been any known malware attacks/exploits that work through the phpBB software or through any of the advertising/banner sources used on this site.

Has anyone else seen this?
