S&W Forum a threat?!

[Scrivener]

I've skimmed the S&W Forum for some time. Not a lot that I found terribly useful, but it was occasionally interesting and never a problem.

However, dropping in this morning I got a blood-red warning that it was (or had become) an "attack site." This comes about 4 days after my other computer became infected with several trojans.

Anyone else having problems with that site?

I just Googled "Smith and Wesson forum" and all returned entries came up clean. I've seen that from time to time with other sites I visit regularly - where a site will all of a sudden be flagged by AVG or Firefox as a threat. I'm not sure how your virus software works, but it could be that they (the forum) were recently hacked.

Google's safe browsing robot seems to have found some malware hosted on a few of the pages:

Probably in one or more of the ads it now runs.

Firefox with noscript is your best friend!

One of the ads was buggy on Fri and after they removed it, it still takes a cuppla days for it to be reported as clean.

Consider switching to Linux.
