Forum threads prompt virus warnings?

What do you want to see here? Some more categories, forums, and mods? Hmm...

Forum threads prompt virus warnings?

Post by nara »

I didn't know where to put this thread so I decided on Support, hope it's the right place. So...as the title states, I've been getting warnings of "potential hazards to your computer" or viruses or something of that sort from clicking on certain threads here. I don't remember which threads in particular, just that a red page would flash with the warning for a moment, and then it would proceed to the actual thread itself. I wasn't too worried at first, but it has happened a few times now and I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten them, or know what's going on (as in, is there something wrong with my computer, or is it the forum?). Thanks!

Yeah, it looks exactly like what ZURD101 posted. So um, is it harmful or not? Didn't really catch that from reading the thread.
