Boss - I run Google Chrome, been running it all season with 0 issues.

I haven't came across any warnings about Spyware/Malware when going to the site.

Just an FYI

Boss-Hog · 08-09-2010, 07:01 AM

OK, I re-enabled the custom add-ons (Chat, Live Topic, etc.) but kept Google AdSense off. Can someone that has had the problem let me know if they still see it? Unfortunately, we're going to have to keep doing this trial and error until I find the culprit since I can't reproduce the issue on my end.

I cleared my cookies last night on my home computer (I use Chrome) and it was OK.

Can you give it another try ASAP now that the custom add-ons are back on (though AdSense is still off) and let me know?

You got it at the time you made your post?

Chip R · 08-09-2010, 06:55 PM

Everything's looking good at home, Boss.

Man.......I'm glad I read this thread. This site and a few others have been painfully slow for the past week or so for me. Cleared my cookies, downloaded avast, and it's working fine now.

That's extremely strange - the fact that you got it after I disabled all AdSense tells me the problem is not resolved. What I don't understand is 1). why I can't reproduce it using Chrome (and why only Chrome users seem to get the message) and 2). why it sporadically appears. I'll do some additional checking with vBulletin and see what I can find.

Boss-Hog · 08-12-2010, 11:52 AM

Is this currently still an issue for anyone?

I was browsing the Sundeck forum and something hijacked my browser and took me to the old Cincinnati Enquirer Reds Talk forums where anything goes with moaning and groaning and personal attacks. Looks like the malware/virus was also spreading to the Old Red Guard. I think it's under control right now, but I get the occasional reroute once in awhile.
