Keep getting this warning.
I don't know if this is an actual bug or not, but twice tonight I've gone into a thread and I've gotten a warning about the thread containing information from xxxx site and being infected with malware.

I was just wondering if this was my computer,the forum,or an actual malware warning.

The warning looks like this.

So I was just wondering if that looked like something anyone had seen before.

Thanks.

I have the same warning using Chrome.
The image in post #3 is from the site mentioned by Google...

The link is http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f18/t152450-the-sexy-thread.html (link in the image... address bar :))

Hi all, this is an example of certain site links such as picture links are detected as malware or virus.
This has nothing to do with our site fortunately :)
So just report to us which site address that causes this problem and the mods/admins will remove it from the post.

For angerbda's link, I have deleted Post#3 link to the problem site. Do you guys still experience the problem in this:
http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f18/t152450-the-sexy-thread.html

For WarriorOmen's thread, I do not know which one is the one with problem:
http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f270/t113750-bad-euphemisms-p9.html
Please let me know.

Do note that sometimes it is not a picture, but can also be a text link that causes the warning.
It can be in post or even a signature of the user... and they may not be aware of it.

I checked both threads again and the warning does not appear.

I went to find the post in the bad euphemisms thread that was getting the malware warning and I did not find it again, nor did the warning occur.

Thank you for checking it out :) I wasn't sure if it was something on aarin or something on my computer or not. It appears to be fixed now from the looks of things.
