So I was just enjoying my first day of premium and I clicked on the shoe thread and my computer then got this message:

www.gtplanet.net contains content from www.shoxsport.com, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.
Google has found that malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed. Why not try again tomorrow or go somewhere else?
We have already notified www.shoxsport.com that we found malware on the site. For more about the problems found on www.shoxsport.com, visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

Sorry but I don't know how to print screen.

Yeah. It's not uncommon with hotlinked images. If you could tell us what page it was on then that'll help the mods get rid of it. :)
 
For future reference, there's a button labeled "Prt Sc" ;) Anyway I never had a message like that.

Yeah I tried that then I couldn't paste it into the thread.

:lol: Anyways, I thought GTP blocked any malicious programs from automatically downloading onto users' computers... I wouldn't worry about it though.

To clarify, this occurs when an image - hosted on a domain that Google or some other security software vendor has flagged for hosting malware in the past - is embedded into a post here. There is no security risk to you or GTPlanet when you view an image file, but nevertheless, modern browsers are over-zealous and throw up the alarming message. If you see this occur, just report it to one of the moderators so we can remove the image from the post.
