Google Chrome Malware warning

[Cowlinn]

Lately every time I long onto the forum I get a malware warning and "Would you like to proceed?"

Anyone else getting this?

Just you

No problems with accessing the forum (I use Firefox at home and IE at day job) but I did get infected on Monday with a annoying piece of "ransomware" (malware that hijacks your computer and demands a fee to unlock it). It took me over 5 hours to totally rid my laptop of this annoyance. I'm very computer security aware and my laptop is well protected but no machine is invincible! :(

I have to use Firefox to access the site---not IE.

Use Firefox if all else fails.

How do you know? Have you asked every single member?

Its to do with people using free smilie sites (Steve :sj:) that at some point has hosted some malware and its had a knock on affect to this site. Although I haven't had a problem (yet). Google Chrome.

Ahh I see, thanks for clearing up. For the record I'm using Chrome.

Hence the thread title, which I'm guessing a couple of people didn't read propperly. :sj:

We think it's down to the smilies, balthough nothing confirmed as yet they do seem the strongest contender.

I'm getting the warning now when I select 'more' on the smilies.

Nor type. :p

And since the initial thread title was a "Maleware" warning until I corrected the typo, heaven only knows what less than decorous attempts at humour might have appeared had it been left in the original form. :eek:


( Guess I'd better brace myself for the inevitable flak I shall doubtless cop for my own next inadvertent slip of the keyboard. :D :D )

[Totally Plucked]

No prob's here with Chrome!

I was suggesting a commonly used browser wont work--Chrome as well.

Try Firefox which I suggested.;)
