Malware from the site?
 

This shows up everytime I try to click Miss Kitty's thread "It was so hot today"

Well I'm not going there then. O.0 Thanks for the warning.

Re: Malware from the site?
 

Only THAT thread?

Re: Malware from the site?
 

I think someone may have posted a pic from that site on that thread. I clicked go anyways and I can view the thread.
Yes, only when I clicked THAT thread the warning popped up.

That's what I was thinking.

I think it is in someone's avatar or signature I also got it in the Sign Up thread.

Re: Malware from the site?
 

I've gotten it in a couple WS Threads.

Re: Malware from the site?
 

I got the notice in the WS signup thread too, when I tried to look at it earlier.

The thing is somebody posted a picture that traces back to Damn LOL, a website that's linked to Facebook that has a lot of stupid and annoying but sometimes funny pictures. Some of the links contain malware though, and you can only get them by visiting the site, not by viewing the thread. So you should be safe as long as you don't click around, but even so, the picture itself likely doesn't contain malware, so you shouldn't have too much to worry about. :)

Can this hurt the site? You know Norton and all of those sites label safe and unsafe sites...will this/these picture(s) label this an unsafe site for those anti spyware programs?

These forums are perfectly safe. It's just that someone is using an image from a site Norton or your AV believes contains malware. You can disable signatures from appearing by going to UserCP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options -> Visible Post Elements -> Disable Signatures

Re: Malware from the site?
 

Nope. We can't post anything on the Homepage or Forum Homepage, so the chances that that will happen are slim. I doubt it would mark the whole site as a threat.

It's the links in the thread, not signatures.

Re: Malware from the site?
 

Links in a post are not going to trigger anti-virus warnings. It's more like images in signatures or posts which do appear on the page, hence I am suggesting disabling viewing of signatures in case it's just a bad signature (the most common source of malware warnings)

Re: Malware from the site?
 

Except for the whole bit where I got the Malware Warning in one of my SG Discussions just now, and signatures don't appear there. Its images in posts, only thing it really can be.
