Malware Warning

[Small_Fryz]

Got this.. thought I'd post it.

From the questionable modifications thread in the Cars and General section.

Same here.

Same here, definately seems uniform for Chomers.

These warnings usually come when an image hosted on the offending site is displayed on the forums. I believe the Questionable Modifications Thread has had this issue before.

It was a picture that was linked to. I've removed the offending picture.

Let me know if it's OK now.

 

[dhandeh]

Just checked, no warnings now.

Had the same problem, gone now 👍

I think we should have a general malware thread for this so if your computer detects it, you just post in that thread.

It is funny, that site may have an ad that is a threat which blacklists the whole site.

I tell firefox not to warn me about dangerous sites.

I know which sites are bad my kaspersky blocks things from comming in and adblock plus prevents flash based threats.

The fastest way to bring this to the staff's attention is via the Report Post form. Of course, you can also send a private message to the user to let them know about the problem and ask them to remove it or host the image elsewhere.
