malware detected by chrome

I clicked on the media thread in the DNF section and apparently chrome detected malware and wouldn't let me visit the page. I then clicked on the "website suggestions" thread and the same thing happened. I tried all the others, and most of them worked, except for the "questions" thread in the bug report section.

Is anyone else getting this? What's going on?

it's blocked because the sig from Cody links to planetminecraft. ??? I don't get it, but this what google give in the details.

Yup, I too came to the same conclusion. cdn.planetminecraft.com seems to be the culprit, and there's only one Minecraft addict I know of around here. :P I went on Cody's profile and looked up his post history and I can't access any page he's posted on. Gotta be something with his sig then.

Cody causing trouble? Nothing new :P Must only affect Chrome because I can view anything from him fine in Firefox.

So it's Cody's fault?

Maybe a mod or admin can temporarily change his sig to fix the problem?

No. Only if you actually clicked on one of the ads at the planetminecraft, even then, an up to date virus scanner would intercept it in time.

The people at minecraft are just as innocent as Cody. This shit can happen to anyone. Blame the malware maker, hack them back the to death.

So let me get this straight. forums.duke.net was blocked by chrome just because it had a link to a site whose ads led to malware? Jeez.

not the entire forum, only specific pages where a link to planetminecraft was 'googled', if you are saying Google over killed - definitely.

also planetminecraft is open via Google Chrome again :P

I was kidding around. I was hoping the lulz and the roll eyes showed that I really didn't think google's paranoid report was a real threat.

Yeah, but I am an old fart and still not fluent in cyber communication techniques. :P

Unless I can look into your eyes, I will not know for sure, so I posted my stuff just in case. I love Minecraft, play it daily on single play, thanks to Cody actually. Cheers! B)

So can I fix my signature now because you guys use some over protective browser... And that the situation seems to have been resolved at the source.

Why don't you play on the server then?!?
Unless you do and I have just missed your username which I do not know what it is?

I play single player. Is there a point playing on the server then? :P

Also, only those that have the Google Chrome's version of multi-layer-extreme-advanced-warning-system enabled are affected, I don't use it. I trust my Anti-Everything Software.

Thanks for reporting the issue! Very much appreciated.

I got a warning like that in another thread yesterday due to an image from "funnyjunk.com". I'm not sure if the image is gone or if Google unblacklisted it, but I'm not seeing that warning today.

@Yatta: I was half expecting your avatar to go to goatse or be a rickroll. :P

Yeah, someone on another forum made a QR code that goes to goatse, and one of my co-workers (after irrigating his eyeballs with brain bleach) printed off a roll of 'em... :D

Of course there is, there is much more that can be done in multiplayer than single player like custom mods etc. that improve game play and give it more of a RPG feel like my server has.

Just join it one day and have a look around the spawn area to see if it's to your liking.

You guys should all check out this article: http://news.yahoo.co...-201142450.html (Mainstream Websites More Likely to Harbor Malware because of their independent Ad sources).

Gives me yet another reason to be happy that I use AdBlock.

Great idea! I should try that out. Were you able to find out where the QR code in my avatar goes, by the way? :P

Also, it's nice to see you're still here, ancient one. <3

^ since you linked to it, I quote:
Internet users are 21 times more likely to become infected by visiting a legitimate online shopping site than by visiting a site used for illegal file sharing, according to Cisco's latest annual security report.
and
That makes perverse sense. The more popular a site, or the more family-friendly an ad, the bigger the pool of potential malware victims is.

In short, don't go on the internet, it's rough out there :D or stick to the pirates :P

Yep. :P

If "Divide by zero" was able to take down Windows NT and leave a battleship dead in the water ("Linux renders ships (render farm of Linux boxes for the Titanic movie) while Windows NT is rendering ships useless", as one of the alt.microsoft.sucks sigs went back in the day :D ) I wonder what your QR code would do. :D

Just the Duke ones. But the revenue is very negligible these days.

I realize that, but the point of the site is to promote Duke, not revenues. :P
