So malware pops up in threads from time to time. I said I'd report any more if I found any so I figured I'd make a thread so others and I can post any if they find any. Please give the url of the thread page whenever a malware threat is detected. Do you need anything other than the url, gnik? Here's one: http://forum.grasscity.com/science-nature/1146498-solar-system-planets-thread-many-pictures.html
It was the first page. I'm using Google Chrome. It's not coming up any more. I ran an anti-malware program and removed an existing issue on my computer after I had seen the malware warning pop up in that thread. Could it have possibly been because of the malware threat on my computer?
Google chrome often shows false positives id run a quick scan on your computer and not worry about it but i recommend Firefox with adblock plus and do not track me extensions for complete security
na man it's a legit concern i could see this site going under fast if viruses started popping up but i dont think anyone on this site would allow that to happen

A malware warning from your browser doesn't usually mean you've already been infected with malware. On GC, it usually means you're about to enter a thread where someone has linked an image from a site that may host malware. You're almost definitely not in any danger unless you visit the URL of the suspect image.
