Re: Do we have a Malware problem with this site?
Avast I believe is purely an anti-virus program, and so wouldn't find malware. IE of course has always been pretty much an open invitation to 'every man and his dog', so no chance of hoping to catch malware with that.
The odd thing is, at least to my limited understanding, is why would Chrome react to just that one 'thread', and then only after later replies to it.
Tigger did point out to one member (via PM), that his protection software was indicating that member's PC was infected.
So, it is either a false positive, or Chrome is the only one clever enough to spot the "problem".
Either way, it matters not to me now, as I'll just not go into that 'thread' again. The problem, as far as I'm concerned, false or otherwise, is only present in the particular 'thread'.
As Paul says, run a Malware Bytes scan, then go and make a cup of tea.
Oh yes, and to be sure, just don't open the thread again.
