Malware Warning on Evolution's Profile
« 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) 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.

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.
