That's exactly what I just got! I got a pop-up saying AVG blocked a trojan (forgot the name) when I got on here. Same .cc url. Didn't have the presence of mind to take a SS.

Just happened to me, I've AVG and it said "Threat Blocked". Evidently it was as everything OK on my computer at moment.
We have some very screwed up people in this world whom just love doing things like that. BTW Neal. I'm running IE8.

I now only access this site through my 64-bit IE9 browser, no flash installed, and haven't had the warning since. Notwithstanding different virus scanners/firewalls, I think the "appearance" certainly depends on what is installed on the client's PC, viz java, flash, ad blockers etc. A certain combination is what "sparks" the code, dropped into the third-party ads (or, perhaps possibly, some other feature/function that has been enabled on subsim that requires/uses java?), to start running on the client's machine. |

All is working now, I did just update to the latest Ad-Aware that found a couple of items and had to reboot that ran a dos clean app, I then tried FF, re-ticked the "Block reported attack sites" and no problems!!
Now whether this is due to a Trojan (though I doubt it), or Subsim has been wiped off Googles attack site list I don't know! Good news anyway.

AVAST just warned me that this is malware. First time for me.

Ok, contracted rack911 to start working on this.
My first thought was ads, too, but I am still worried enough to keep plugging away at this (through IT experts). If rack911 cannot find anything wrong, I don't know what.

Maybe they were in the ad links, now they have been taken off is it possible that Google has detected that your site is now clean and all is well again! Just a thought!

You may be right, Reece, but some people are still reporting vague malware concerns.

Why are people getting paranoid about the red warning messages produced by
Your browser these are just that warning messages nothing more the Trojan or Redirectors depending on what type of attack you may receive will be shown by Your own anti-virus software as show by the Elder-Pirate post above. And as for the adverts producing the attacks this was said in some of the first thread posts that had been left out in the merging of the threads |
