My virus program continues to insist that when moving around on this site, the generic.o virus attempts to infect my machine. Any thoughts on this. Thanks!

I doubt it's anything on our site, but it's possible that something in one of the Google ads might cause a false positive. If you get a consistent alert on a specific page, then give me the url and I'll look at that page. If it's completely random, then it has to be something coming from Google Adsense. If you note the advertiser on that page and the url link for that ad, I can block them as well.

But Firefox and McAfee say all-clear. In fact, my little McAfee icon is green, but I was just on a posting in the tube asylum that IE 8 thought was being naughty... so IE8's address bar turned red.
Between the antivirus and firewall built into McAfee, and the massive firewall in my router... I've never seen any attacks that came from AA or any site I've linked to via AA, so I don't know what Microsoft's problem is... maybe they hate audiophiles!
with IE8 and MS Security Essentials (augmented by Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware).
MS Security Essentials wouldn't load the Video Asylum page, said it was a known risk. That was a couple of days ago; the problem hasn't reoccured.
I use the term "virus" here loosely.
Take a look at the current issue of Maximum PC or read AV reviews elsewhere. MS Security Essentials is probably the best free antivirus tool right now, and its superior to some commercial AV software. The paid version of Avira stood aside and let a drive by download trash one of my computers a couple of months ago, for example.
:(
But you didn't get a "virus" from surfing here.
You're confused, too.
It has various names...

my 'puter said the site was reported as unsafe and advised against coming here. I ignored it. I've never got that before, though, so something was up.
My antivirus caught it. Lucky for me I said NO when it asked if I would allow it to change my registry.
probably a false positive.
What anti virus program are you using?
I use Sunbelt VIPRE (very highly rated) and all is o.k. from my computer.
