forum redirects to malware site?

[Armaegis]

So I was reading the forums and suddenly this popped up when I clicked on this link: http://www.bottlehead.com/smf/index.php/topic,1841.0.html
(I don't remember which one that was, but it was in the gallery subforum)

I'm not getting any warning on my browser and I don't see any link to the fam-etc. on that page. Not sure what is up.

The redirect is a virus you got at another site.  I went through this about 9 months ago.  It can take some serious digging.  When I had it I could not Google anti-virus sites.  Those all got redirects.

Hmm, any idea how to identify and remove it? I've got MSSE running and it hasn't flagged anything recently.

Armaegis,

I have a computer guy because I'm pretty ignorant.  He did it from home logging on to the computer.  He went into some of the files from a DOS window and edited some of the Windows files.  The virus has already rewritten this file so it needs to be un-edited. 

I watched what he was doing and understood what was going on.  But I didn't get the file name of what he was working on.  He had to save a copy of the file, edit it then replace the active file with the edited copy.
