Malware Warning from Google Chrome

[Admin]

In the last few hours, some of you undoubtedly noticed the Malware warning that appeared if you use the Google Chrome browser.

There is NO malware on this forum.... but it is possible that a link on the website points to another website that does have malware. The Forum host has checked and found NO malware here.

Be careful of links that point elsewhere. One type of link to watch out for the the URL shortener links (like bitly or tinyURL or url4short ). You can't see where they really point. Any suspicious links will be removed. If you've seen any suspicious links, please report them.

 

Anyone posting links to malware infections may be banned from the forum.

 

We are working with Google to get the warning removed.

Data point: it appears in Safari running under Lion, but not iOS6.

We could use a little help. If you all could page through some of this last weeks post and try and find a shortened URL link we can delete it and not have this malware message keep popping up. If you find one tell us and we'll jump on it. If we can't find it we may have to delete all links posted recently, but this would be a last resort.

 

There isn't any real malware it's just how google looks at these types of links.

 

If you post a link that's perfectly okay just don't use any shortening link program, post the entire link.

 

 

Thanks for all everyone does to make this a great forum.

I haven't seen one since that day. Dump your cache, sign back in and see if it's still there.

I have also been "clean" since the 14th.
