Malware Warning

by Amar on Tue Oct 25, 2011 9:51 am

Hey, I was in the gaming section just trying to check out the Best 'football manager tactic' thread, but when I click it, my browser (Chrome) gives me a malware detected screen. Here's a screen:

I re-created the thread and merged it with the other one.

Looks fine now.

I just clicked on the same thread and got the exact same warning.

I'm getting the same warning.

EDIT: I started checking out some threads in the Juve section, and a lot of them gave me malware warnings the moment I opened them.

by McLewis on Tue Oct 25, 2011 12:42 pm

You're both using Chrome?

EDIT: I locked that thread until we can figure out what's going on with that virus. I'll open it again once it's safe.

Can you guys try other threads from a different browser and see if you get the same message. I didn't get the warning on my Chrome and I haven't gotten it on Firefox either.

I'm on Chromium...
Could it be like an advertiser, or some bad image?

Okay guys, I looked into the page source, and it looks like it's Camurrìa.Sto.Stronzo's first signature picture that's causing the problem.

Yes, the threads in the Juve section that throw up malware warnings have that guy posting in them as well.

by McLewis on Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:07 pm

I've removed his first signature pic so we'll see if that resolves the issue. I'll unlock that thread now.

Excellent work, Beatrix. You have my thanks.

I'm on Chrome and I'm getting it in the Balotelli destroyed Man U thread in the Juve section as well. Edit: Didn't get it when I returned to the thread just then.

Do you guys use any adblock software or not?

by dostoevsky on Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:27 pm

If I have to think about that question, I'm guessing the answer is no.

by BarrileteCosmico on Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:28 pm

Try using this and then let me know if you still get the malware thing:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom

Chances are the malware is mostly coming from advertisers so this should fix it.

That worked, thanks so much. Very Happy

Feels like a cheap git for selecting getting it for free rather than finding wallet for card details.

by beatrixasdfghjk. on Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:50 pm

Haha, no problem (:

dostoevsky, BarcaKizz, and goalol can probably tell you what my goal with this forum is Razz

And it's definitely a lower case 'b' in beatrix.

Chrome is crap

Yes it's back to normal now. No more malware warnings.
