Malware alert in my thread
 

Hey guys,

People have been posting in my thread (http://www.gfy.com/sell-and-buy-forum/977621-tubepress-3-wordpress-tube-theme-sale.html) today that they're getting malware alerts. This makes no sense to me. The only thing there is in the thread is an image.

Anyone know what could cause this problem?

Thanks

So you want others to visit your thread?

It could have been in someone else. You should contact your host to check the server.

If it is from your site, scan your pc and change your passwords.

Very helpful :thumbsup ....

try a reboot

The screenshot someone provided indicates that it is using heuristics and is detecting something on the html page. This is extremely general and heuristics are more prone to false alarms by the way they work. The people getting this should look around in their anti-malware utilities to see if there is a way for it to give you more information.

I presume the people getting this popup actually have antivir installed and that it is a real alert. Does anyone else see it with other anti-malware utilities?

I wouldn't freak out over this too much until more information is known. There is a high chance of nothing more than a false positive. Anyone who gets the message should reboot in safe mode and run fullscans with multiple updated anti-malware utilities (such as malwarebytes anti-malware). Please note anything that it says you have and report it here or somewhere because it will help in figuring this out. :)
