Computers Avast keeps blocking "malicious URLs" on this site suddenly

JD10367 · 05-31-2010, 04:22 PM

Okay, for the second or third time in the past few days, while viewing this site my Avast! Antivirus has popped up with "malicious URL blocked" while I've been scanning threads. I can only assume that some peoples' sigs are triggering it. Is anyone else having this occur? Is it possible for someone to link something in their sig, and have that cause a virus trigger? Weird that it just started happening.

Probably someones sig.

I believe there's been issues with sigs doing that in the past. So yes, it's possible.

ive been on 'at work' mode forever and have yet to see that with my avast, but its likely from the sig hosts as everyone says. hell i think mine was like that for awhile, cause well my host did get compromised.

I've seen other trustworthy sites getting flagged similarly. Either a sig or maybe an ad?

my computer caught a HOLY SHIT!, WTF!, NEVER BEFORE SEEN VIRUS while here just a few nights ago... it locked up (& still is) EVERYTHING, need to take it to the shop soon.

started out as some javascript break in, which i thought was natural, since i'd been away for awhile, so it starts loading as i'm thinking 'yeah, some upgrade to the site'...2-3 minutes later, computer death... wtf?

Might I suggest using Firefox with the addon Noscript https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722/

Yup AVG said the same to me.

Seriously, I go to porn sites like pornhub and youporn and it doesn't trigger my antivirus, but THIS place does?
