I have noticed that this site suffers more from these types of things, but its still a good forum, which is why i stay around.Recently, and by that, i mean yesterday.My ps3 said the main page had something, like a trojan or virus.How often do you guys check for those kind of things?

It didn’t came from here. Sometime people use pics or links in their signatures that link to site that DO host trojan/malware. Google just put a red flag that something posted on the forum might be infected. the mods and admins took care of it, and boom. nothing anymore.

just making sure, since this site has been taken over 3-4 times in my experience.I am relatively new here, so i don’t know if its ever been hacked before that.

Eh ?

Try cleaning your cache. that might be the cause. I don’t get it anymore, nor does anybody in STS (and you know we’re heavy users :D)

I have cleaned all caches, history, everything. I have cleaned the desktop, ran malwarebytes, and my usual security scan. It’s all clean, but if I log on here, sirens and blaring red pages.

I really don’t know what to answer. Maybe you should PM a mod about that issue.

if possible, could you screencap both the warning message and the "google diagnosis page" ? I’m curious, as no one seems to be experiencing that.

last question: what’s your browser ?
