Thanks for the heads-up herns!

The site Admins will have a look at this.

Edit: I've moved the thread to the forum helpdesk section

Thanks. I'm looking into it right now.

Malicious script found and exterminated with prejudice.

The reason that that particular thread raises the alarm is because the images are hosted on the Killies.com site. That association caused the Google Chrome to raise the alert. The malicious scripts are in the Killies.com site and I have scoured through and deleted the malicious scripts. I have requested Google to review the site.

If you have not visit the actual killies.com site, you will not have encountered the scripts directly and your PC will not be harmed.

Thanks for the help, Herns. I was planning to do that after Google gave the site a clean bill of health.

I actually saw that warning upon visiting killies.com quite awhile ago, but I just assumed it was a false positive.

I've been using Google's Chrome browser for quite awhile and haven't seen that warning appear from loading AQ though.

On an additional (and almost entirely off topic) note though, I find it quite amusing / alarming that the Killies section (which is locked) perpetually has
a thread titled "Killies keep dying

" on the forum main page

You only get the warning in AQ if you open a thread in AQ that has photos hosted on the killies.com domain.

Hi Admins,

Would like to inform you that Chrome is flagging the killies website again. According to the reports I see, the killies site was checked by chrome on the 11th of Aug and it found the issues again.
