[FIXED] Norton gives attack warning
Never seen this before, but my Norton 360 just gave a warning. The forum is considered an attack site.

Re: Norton gives attack warning
I still have the warning in Firefox.
Re: Norton gives attack warning
Same here.
Firefox as well as Chrome complain about security issues.

Re: Norton gives attack warning
I still have a Firefox/Google warning too.
Re: Norton gives attack warning
I did yesterday, and don't since the 1st time I accessed the site after the warning (yesterday too). Maybe a cookie set or unset on my browsers but...

Re: Norton gives attack warning
We fixed a hacked forumfile on Saturday (was changed the day before) and we expected this would end the Google malware warning. As you all noticed the warning was gone for a short periode, but came back...
We didn't find any lead at our server, so we tried to find it in the forumpages self.
There we found several threads of valid members posting infected code they found in their own files/websites. A few of these threads triggered our virusscanners. Some of the websitesnames mentioned by Google above were in that infected code.
Therefore we removed all this code, hoping it will end the malware warning from Google.
We were warning people before about posting this, but we need to do it more! Please don't post hacked/infected code in our forum, better make a screendump and attach the image.
Hopefully Google will check our forum soon and will remove the warning.
We apologize for the inconvenience
