Topic: Keep getting malware warning from this site..

[Tom_]

there's no way to php something that blocks a site when entered in the avvy thing?

[Joeno]

Not worth the time taken, considering the low risk (the image itself doesn't carry any malware, so it's just a nuisance), the large amount of work required (forums are harder to modify than the site) and the large drain it puts on maintenance (this is the sort of stuff that needs to be redone on every update)

Considering how it's just as likely to just be a bad advert on the site, I don't think there's any need to panic as much as to create this much extra work for myself.

There's no need to be sarky.

I just got it from the "what's your favourite part of the above person's profile" topic; I'm using Google Chrome at the moment as well.

Yeah, it seems firekitten is using an icons.iconator.com avatar now.

[Laprabi]

Can't we just tell people that they can't use avvies from this site? o_o

[M.O.P.]

^ With a site wide PM or something?

Come to think of it my computer mentioned a little problem to me but as has been said...

I don't think there's any need to panic

Good. =]

Just to let you guys know I've just started getting Malware attacks everytime I click the 'Homepage :: PKMN.NET' link (you guys have been hacked). It seems to re-direct you to some dodgy long website URL link claiming your computer has been infected by Trojan viruses and that you have to run an anti-virus program to safely remove them (which has been made to look convincing). I know it doesn't sound like such a big deal, but it doesn't let you navigate away from the page without having to agree to a virus clean out, which is obviously their way of infecting your computer with the crap.

This is a serious issue that needs resolving, am I the only person currently experiencing this? ...If it helps I'm using Windows 7 and Windows Internet Explorer.

I've just had a look at this on an old Linux computer. It seems to redirect to a website called p3p0.com (don't go there). I don't know if that helps.

Thankfully I get to the site by typing the URL in, which doesn't seem to be affected.

I'm on it. Not sure what happened here, we'll do our best to fix it (again)

Edit: Fixed the issue, trying to figure out how it got in and changed things around.
