Re: Warning: malware!!!

I also get it in Chrome. I looked, and it said something about "www.mes***z.nl" (do not go there). It was probably an image or something.

I looked, and it's because the signature image of that person was hosted on the site I mentioned above.

Yeah. freeimagehosting is blocked by Google.
I tried removing the images but I can't retrace all of the posts with images in them.

Maybe Google is getting a bit paranoid?

Re: Warning: malware!!!

I'll ask him to change his sig.  I wonder if that person is affiliated?

Re: Warning: malware!!!

The site appears to be a Scratcher-made site, so it's likely that it got injected with malicious code at some point recently.

Here's the post ID's of all the posts that you own that have a reference to it:

418828
418829
418876
523621
564463

it would be great if you could put those images somewhere else and then edit the posts.

Asked him to remove the image, it should be fixed.   smile
Interestingly, he owns that website...
