Forums contain malware warning???

[tayl428]

FYI: Chrome (on my pc) just gave me a malware warning on forums.androidcentral.com. I SERIOUSLY doubt there's malware on here, but just thought the site devs should know my Chrome picked up this warning for some reason.

Thanks for the heads up.

I already contacted site administration and they are working on it now. Confirmed to trigger warnings on Firefox & Chrome.

I am getting the same warning as well....every thread i go into pops the error up and I have to click on Proceed anyway to for every page.

@monkeypimp,

I believe its an advertisement that is triggering the warnings, at least from what I can tell watching the status bar load/connect to the pages... Site Admin is working on it now.

Thanks for letting us know.

Whew, thought I was the only one and my Mac was on the verge of implosion.

Still, I hope it's remedied soon!

Same here. Glad it's being worked on.

+1. Firefox is blocking here. When I view the details it reports no threats from the server though. Glad I'm not the only one since its my work computer. Ha

Ditto on Firefox, but the details show no actual instances of malware on the site in the last 90 days. Very odd. Maybe somebody is trolling. Still, happy to have ABP.

It's clearly Verizon. Unsatisfied with the response to the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 update, they're going to bring us down, down, down!

Warning also on my EVO LTE using Dolphin

Perhaps it is this incredibly annoying "your opinion counts" pop up that is screwing with me today.

Google decided to treat one of our ad partner's javascript code as suspicious. The code has been removed and we have requested Google to rescan the site. We have no reports of the ad partner actually serving malware.

 

[Cowchip]

Still getting the malware alert.

I came to this subforum to report the problem, I see you already know about it.

Just in case it could help, I received the warning about 60 seconds ago which was 6:27 PM Eastern time. I was going directly to my User Control Panel which I have bookmarked. I am using Chrome on MAC OS Lion.

Welcome to Android Central! That doesn't have any direct relation to the original post of this thread, but in general, you should stay away from any of those apk sites -- there's a much higher chance of malware there.
