Malware warning on these forums?

google chrome wrote:"talk.gatewa.rs contains content from planetsmilies.net, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.

I was trying to read: viewtopic.php?f=124&t=193665

Anyone else get this warning, or is it just me?

Re: Malware warning on these forums?

I have the same as you both, already was a thread about this problem few months ago. You use Chrome isn't it? I don't get this problem with Mozilla though. I think Chrome is suspecting this and few other sites for some reasons to be dangerous and thus causes this.

Glad I am not using a browser like that piece of **Filtered** Chrome..
Additionally, no, I do not get that message. ;) I think it is safe to say Chrome sucks with the baby-swaddling, once again.

Re: Malware warning on these forums?

I do not get that message, but i do get warnings from others part of the forums, that images etc could contain malware etc, but the software i uses blocks it all anyway.
Deep within Noob Cave, you find a strange pool filled with a glowing blue liquid. You think back to what your mother told you about unfamiliar liquids found in caves.

You're pretty sure she said "Drink it! What's the worst that can happen?"

Use Mozilla and I never get warnings, or have any problems.
