However, such a message might scare people away from visiting this site. I know Mk II is a sharp cookie so I'm sure he'll figure out what the problem is.

My banner image is hosted on that site so thats how it is linked to here. UPDATE: ive tried to visit the www.mk2software.com site but it is blocked. Not sure ATM what is happening but i will immediately remove the image link from my signature, that should fix the problem here Edited by Mk II, May 13 2012, 03:17 PM.

EDIT: Also, upon visiting your site, I get a malware warning. I clicked continue and AVG detected Malware as well. Edited by Meptrep, May 13 2012, 03:17 PM.

Elite Posts: 4,493 Group: Staff (Ret.) Member #381 Joined: November 7, 2010	The problem with malware warnings on this forum should be solved now that my signature banner no longer links to the infected domain www.mk2software.com Said domain has now been cleared of all content; sadly this includes the PAL rarity guide. I apologize for any inconvenience or alarm this whole kerfuffle may have caused. Edited by Mk II, May 13 2012, 04:30 PM.

Latter-day Nostradamus Posts: 3,243 Group: Legendary Member #457 Joined: March 8, 2011	This may just be coincidence but the two sites I've been posting my "Targeted in America" story on are now both having issues. Here's the link to the other site called Raven Haven which I've been a member of for many years.

Elite Posts: 4,493 Group: Staff (Ret.) Member #381 Joined: November 7, 2010	Grizz, the warnings on this site were caused by my banner image linking to my site. Malicious code was added to my index page so my ftp password was probably compromised. This forum was never infected so i dont think there's a connection with your story. BTW: the Raven Haven site doesnt trigger any warnings for me at the moment

I'm using Firefox, No Script and Ad Block Plus and nothing triggered, most likely caught my no script Some research: Only thing to catch anything on the mkiisoftware domain: Google Safebrowsing This site and the one that Grizz linked to came clean Edited by Matt, May 14 2012, 01:40 PM.
