    My anti nasty software is blocking me from going on pages 81 and earlier on the East Stand thread. It warns of a malware being distributed from www.sabotagetimes.com, a known malware distributer. Not a big issue for me, but thought you ought to know.

    I'm having no problems getting onto the East Stand thread.

    Hopefully the Malwarers will attack the Tommy Smith thread more effectively.

    Seriously, though, thanks for the warning. Malware is a real pain and may kill the internet some day.

    Is it any coincidence that since the East Stand thread was taken down for cleaning not a jot of work seems to have been done on the stand?

    I don't know if PJ's work uses Websense but they've blocked it at my work.

    Just to update you all:

    I've been using Google's Webmaster tools to try and perform diagnostics, that's coming up clean so the forum/site itself has no hacking or no malicious content.

    What that doesn't include however is any 'cross-site malware' where something that's linked, be it in an image, or an iframe, could be contaminated.

    I'm stripping the forum back a bit so that I can make it easier to uncover.

    An image? A linked picture or YouTube video? You think that could be the cause of the malware?.... there are IT professionals out there that could step in.

    It's more than likely to be an iFrame, all of which have been removed for now.

    Are people getting any fresh warnings?

    Some work monitors may still have it blacklisted as it can take some time to be re-evaluated.

    Work is still blocking it. If you go here and type in the site URL you'll see which pages are causing it to think there's malicious content.

    Thanks UEA, very helpful. Have found something still lurking from when we were hacked.

    It's still blocked at my work :dismay: If I'm not careful I'm going to have to resort to doing some actual work next month if you can't fix it by then.
