Fusion X. Denver Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 For the past week or two, I've noticed that on certain sections of the forum, Chrome will tell me there's malware ahead and that I need to exit. And apparently several other members have had this issue as well. Is it possible for the Mods or YCMaker to address this? If so, would you? EDIT: Case in point, just as I exited the thread to the main page, this happened. Though when I click to it now, I don't get the warning. Should we be concerned or what?

Tesability Black Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Avast flagged on me yet again, this time on the main forum page. (The Card Maker itself seems immune to this bugger.) Though this block was slightly unusual... This is from the last block showing YCM's address with hxxp instead of http This MIGHT be a problem only the actual admin can fix...if only the almighty one's ass actually showed up more frequently.

bury the year Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Maybe someone has an image/link in their signature that's triggering the warning? I've seen it happen before. o-o;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think that didn't explain why the pages that usually gave the warning is a subsection instead of topic (Misc, TCG, for example). But, that probably should also be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Oh, boy, this is a bigger problem than I thought. I just got reminded of this when Avast started going nuts on me, requiring me to temporarily turn off its protection to get to this site. I decided to try and find info on it myself and smacked into this: Google Safe Diagnostic for askimbo.com Now, according to this, only this site has been nailed by this, so I decided to check the diagnostic link for this forum...it's not the only thing here. askimbo.net is just the flag that has let us know something's up. Google Safe Diagnostic for yugiohcardmaker.net I think I now know why some of the same PUPs keep reappearing on my laptop before it decided to stop charging anymore, and that's DESPITE AVG scanning every hour.

Greiga Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 [spoiler because pics > text][/spoiler] So far it's been on the main page, my messages, and the misc section, although it's safe to assume it's all over the forum. I went to the listed website on my phone out of curiosity, and Safari couldn't load anything. I mean, if this is happening to people beyond the status bar, some acknowledgement of it would be nice.

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 EDIT: Says Askinsko.com for me, though. Same, I remembered it wrong. However, unlike the other inconsistencies, I will get the malware notice every time I try accessing the full editor to change the topic title.

Greiga Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ah yes, interesting. When I click my bookmark from this topic, I don't get a warning. However, when I click the logo in the top left corner, I do get the warning, despite them both apparently leading to the same place. EDIT: It also happens when I use the YCM2 theme, but when I used the mobile theme (on my computer) I didn't get the warning going to the main page.

Thar Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 It happens to me on some user Profiles and/or the main page. Using Windows.

Northern Sage Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Can the in-text ads have something to do with this? I keep getting redirects to viglink and then back again when I follow site links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm using Chrome and Windows. It's happening to me. Are you using a Mac? That was the actual thing I was noting.

J-Max Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Same thing happens to me from time to time. It looks like a continuation of when my Avast went absolutely crazy on a few occasions. Its linked to this Askinsko.com thing. I did a quick google search of it and next to no info on it at all.EDIT: Went to view New Content and TADA! D:Oh and by the way, if anyone gets this warning just click on Details on the bottom and scroll down. There is a option to ignore the issue and view the thread.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I use Linux; so far, haven't gotten that issue on Firefox or Chrome (as far as I remember; most likely not). Could be that it's some problem linked with "standard" OS things; I'm not a computer tech so can't say for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 If it's relevent, similar adware warnings happened on DNF recently, and it was linked to in site advertisments I think? So maybe it's something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I am getting this problem (along with everyone else on this site) and I do not think it is something to do with Signatures because I got my adblock to remove them as they were annoying me.Yeah, just ended up getting this issue on a non-thread page, so back to square one with that idea.

Question
Fusion X. Denver
For the past week or two, I've noticed that on certain sections of the forum, Chrome will tell me there's malware ahead and that I need to exit.
And apparently several other members have had this issue as well.
Is it possible for the Mods or YCMaker to address this? If so, would you?
EDIT: Case in point, just as I exited the thread to the main page, this happened.
Though when I click to it now, I don't get the warning.
Should we be concerned or what?
