Title: Malware Warning on Evolution's Profile
Post by: Al Arlington on December 21, 2012, 05:41:44 AM
Hey.

I went to view the Gifs N Stuff topic (http://www.bully-board.com/index.php?topic=16287.msg289892#new (http://www.bully-board.com/index.php?topic=16287.msg289892#new)) and I got this warning:

I think it's someones avatar or sig. I got the exact same warning when I viewed the "Bully-Board Weather Topic"

People who it isn't:
Me
Jimmette
Doctor Red
xNarumi HELLO KITTY
Gary_Smith23
Bonus Stage
c00ld0c26
Dave
Chuck
Erik
Chrissy
Yeti
Evolution (Though it is someone on his friends list)

How I know that?
I visited a page which the listed above posted in and I didn't get the warning.


EDIT: I went to Evolution's profile and got the warning.

It's somebody on Evolution's profile.

Sorry Evo. :/

EDIT:
I didn't get the warning in "The Longest Ever Thread" but I got the warning on his profile, and I got the warning in Gifs N Stuff. :/

lol, idk why it would be some malware warning on my profile. Nothing has been happening. xD

Perhaps it could be on of the images, I shall remove it.

Besides that, I don't know why Chrome would do it, I've googled the matter and it has happened to a few people before.

Perhaps check out my profile again to see if it's still doing it?... If it does, I won't bother worrying anyways.

I got the same warning too just then, but not on Evolution's profile on the longest thread.
EDIT: I just clicked Evolution's profile and got the same result as Nathan. :/

It's someone on your buddies list, not you yourself.
I never got the warning in the Longest Ever Thread (where you posted) but I did on your profile.

Also in "Gifs N Stuff pt2"

So the person is on Evo's friends list AND posted in Gifs N Stuff.....

A few pages in Gif and Things 2 are safe while others are not. Didn't get it in the longest thread.

I just went to my profile and was redirected to that page, as well as on Nathan and Alex's.

Excuse me while I go quarantine myself.

It's defo not Walter. Either Minimo or Scum.

I don't think you've spoke to Minimo before have you?

Well, with this site you can link a URL as your avatar/sig, so the person may of linked a picture from a site by accident as their avatar.

In topics yes, but not in a PM. His profile doesn't redirect to that page btw.

However, I get it on Scum, Erik, Chuck, T-Bone, Emily's... there could be a lot more than this, but I'm honestly not going to bother checking up with everybody's profile.

Ah... so it could be just Scum's avatar.

I think all the people above (except Scum himself) have got Scum as a friend.

All we can hope is Scum removes his avatar or reuploads it to a safer site.
Or a moderator removes his avatar.

It's a common mistake and I'm pretty sure Scummy never did it on purpose, after all different antiviruses and web browsers flag different things as viruses.

All I hope is that Scum isn't infected by his picture.

It's just odd since his picture never had that warning until today.

It's more than likely Scumster...also funny how the link of the pic is to a Russian website.

.ru sites are trouble.

Not being horrible but could you remove his avatar? I'm getting a tad paranoid. Plus he hasn't been online today. :¦

Check it now.  Earlier today, I wasn't seeing an Avatar for Scum at all, and assumed that it had been removed.  I haven't had any of these problems & think now my security just blocked it from showing.

So, just modified his profile to 'No Avatar' since there was a URL showing in the window.  Noticed there was 'torrents' in the text line along with the '.ru' as the country identifier. When I changed it to 'No Avatar' the URL disappeared from the text line.  Hitting 'Save Changes' gave me the message that the profile had been changed successfully.  So, it should be gone now for the rest of you.
