I've been getting Malware warnings since late last week, was told my a moderator to report it here. Heard its a recurring problem so might be because of spammers posting links to infected or hacked websites.

There's also another problem some members are facing : unintended Log outs when we open the website. It shouldn't be another setting issue since it was fine before. Problem arose about the same time the Malware warnings appeared. Its strange, since we're still logged in to the shout box.

[ problem is as seen as image above, both the Malware and log out issue. ]

Sorry for the trouble.

The shoutbox and forum are two different "entities", so being logged out of one won't log you out of the other.

As for the Malware and unintended log outs, I'm not too entirely sure about those. Is anyone else getting malware warnings? If not, it's probably just your antivirus acting up after an update or something. (The picture you posted above shows that you're still logged in)

Yes, I think it's your antivirus or your firewall. I had this problem with my firewall (Comodo).

Yes it's the settings on the anti-virus. I ran Trend Micro on my PCs for 2012 and ran into a few of those messages when browsing around on SH. Most of which are just pics or posts that are linked from other sources (EX. The news section, where your warning popped up).

You can change the firewall settings and add SH into the safe list or just tone down the level itself. Trend Micro is sophisticated enough to warn you if an attack comes directly so just read the logs and see where it's coming from when it occurs here on SH. The warning is just a warning, just look into your settings and set it to what you feel is right.

I'm running Kaspersky 2013 and haven't run into any warning pages since switching over, so Trend Micro's rules are more sensitive. Otherwise SH/Forumotion would have been compromised a long time ago and you'd notice a whole lot of bots registering onto SH.

As for log outs, those are normal as well. It can be various things such as updates, refresh rules, etc., but I get logged out every once and a while when my cookies clean themselves up, as well as when SH/Forumotion under goes maintenance, change, and all that other good stuff.

This is just a personal case so I hope that helps.

AV: Kaspersky 2013
Main Browser: Firefox, latest build
