Malware

Postby Hobo » Tue Oct 25, 2011 3:43 am

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but why is it that whenever I click on certain links on this website, it gives me a warning about malware and malicious software and tells me to go back? It says that the source is p1ngt3st,n3t, but will somebody give me an explanation or even better- solve it? So far, my only solution was to use my phone.

There's at least one topic in server support (which you can't see) and i thought there was another in public view as well

This has happened before. Basically. Pingtest was hacked or otherwise reported as containing malware, and since some people have images from that site in their sigs, that triggers the browser to flag the page. In this case, at least, there's no actual malware on SWGO.

I remember when Vishy thought my signature had malware attatched to it :whistling:
