Just got this warning from google? Why?

    Me too. It's because the forum has ZERO preventative measures in place to prevent spammers and malicious posters from registering and posting their garbage.

    They should have taken my advice sooner. Bye Warrior Forum, no more business from me.

      Yeah, I have been reporting garbage as well but it appears as if the Freelancer crew may be a bit too focused on the cash taking the time and effort building out and working on Warrior Payments, FreeMarket, Deal of the Day, WAMA etc.etc. IMHO they have put little effort into the general health of the community and it appears as if we may paying for it today. If you don't have a safe community that is not filled with garbage then you will see a drop in revenue. Sure this issue may be resolved quickly, but my general health comment still stands.

      This is the warning I get when I try to get to a WSO in the WSO section...



      As Hackbridge mentioned is not just a Chrome browser alert either. This is the advisory I get when using Google search with the Firefox browser. Google has the big red flag up, no doubt about that.



      And an IE Google search...



      Cheers

    That sucks. I have no-javascript allowing WF right now so I can watch youtube videos and such, maybe I should go back to disable scripting.

    I just came over to ask this very thing. The problem I found it was visiting the War Room. So will the owners sort it out/publicly acknowledge there is a problem?

    I've just had a look on my mobile and it's not showing the same message. I'm using Firefox, so perhaps it's an old message? It would be good to know.

      Hi everyone,

      We're looking into this issue right now. We'll be fixing this as soon as possible and putting measures in place to prevent this from happening in the future.

    This is due to the AV triggers apparently caused by some bad ads shown on here.

    What kind of exploit was it.

    I STILL haven't seen a warning, so odds are, for the moment, IT'S FIXED!
