Can you guys tell me more about this error you got / are getting?

I opened up the page in chrome and didn't get it. Logged in, checked different threads (including the one from the screenshot), still didn't get it.

Also none of these are suspicious, which makes it even more confusing:
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diag ... 0bfest.com
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diag ... 0bfest.com
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diag ... amnlol.com
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diag ... amnlol.com

There shouldn't be any active content on our site from any third party, so I'm def. curious about this.

Post Re: malware on n00b!
Okay well, first thanks for pointing out the error. I have no idea why I didn't get it the first time, but after spamming refresh on the page, I got the error eventually.

It's possible that damnlol.com had some malware on it at some point, or even does currently (although Google says there hasn't been any detected in the last 90 days [1]). More likely, it seems is that its hosted by the same network that hosts sites with malware. At least thats what the Google advisory makes it sound like.

In any case, the warning was a result of a .gif hosted by damnlol.com that was in a signature. I went ahead and took the image out of the signature so you shouldn't get the warning anymore. If you do, force refresh and if you still do, let us know. I took the gif out not because it was dangerous, it wasn't, but to prevent the warning from popping up.

There are certain types of "active" content that through which malware can be deployed (almost always these involve plugins like java applets, or flash embeds -- or javascript exploits). And if users were able to insert whatever code they wanted into their signature, its possible that code could be inserted that, when viewed by everyone else would cause everyone else to become "infected".

Luckily, the forum software doesn't allow users to place arbitrary code anywhere -- not in posts, not in sigs, nowhere. This is why most if not all html tags are filtered out and the use of BBCode is required. One of the acceptable tags we permit is the img tag, which causes your browser to fetch an image from a third-party site and display it inline with the rest of the page you fetched from us. And while there have been bugs in the image rendering code of various browsers in the past that would allow a specifically crafted image to do something not intended (e.g. [2][3]), these functions have been thoroughly tested and standardized on the mainstream browsers.

So the end result is, yes, we did include content from damnlol.com, a site which is marked as suspicious. But no, your computer was never at risk.

(Thanks to everyone who posted here and hit me up on steam)

I'm sure he could waste his time doing something else and still be more productive.
