- Malicious script prevents blog from loading

I have a problem with a b2 Evolution blog which I administer, and I can't find information about this issue through the usual means (searching the forums, Googling, etc.). Let me describe the problem to you as it was described to me by the blog owner:

I can't reproduce the problem on my PC, maybe because I am behind a firewall. I cannot reproduce the problem on a Mac, either. But other people have reported the problem to me, as well, so I know this is not a localized problem. Is there a suspicious script running somewhere in the b2 Evo installation that is triggering the anti-virus software?
Incidentally, this blog was recently upgraded to 0.9.2.
