So as most folks know by now, this forum has been labelled as an "attack site" by Google, and therefore visitors receive a warning when viewing the site in most browsers. But fear not, the problem is already resolved.

What happened is someone used an exploit in the forum's software,which I'm assuming happened because it was out-of-date. They made it so a piece of code would execute on every page load with the intention of having malware installed on user's computers. It seemed like an amateurish job, but if you did visit the site after ignoring the warning, it can't hurt to do a virus scan if you're on a Windows machine.

Like I said though, it's all fixed now. I upgraded the forum software and wiped all traces of the exploit and the bad code. The site is still labelled as an attack site, but that is only because Google needs to manually verify that I've fixed the problem. I've already submitted the request for them to re-check it, so it shouldn't take more than a few days hopefully.

For barkis is willing...

You owe me a new PC David.

Ipad/Android should be fine. A virus usually only works on one type of OS.

Thanks for the speedy fix david.

I use Chrome OS, but agree with him owing me a new PC because my real computer is 7+ Y/O.

I didn't get infected.
