This might be interesting to all specially Mods to have a look at.
I was moving back in thread "Your best 3 Aviation shots" to the page that has post before #3501, using Google Chrome as browser when got this message.
Be the judge as what is happening!
Repeated attempt to go back to same page (After successful move to forward pages) yield same exact result...

I had no problem with either IE or Chrome.

No I have no problem with either too but Chrome identifies Malware spread by POTN and prevents me going to that particular page. May be Moderators need to look into this.

I can go to post #3500 with both Chrome and IE without a squeal from my anti virus or anti malware programs or the browsers. I do not know what is affecting your browser other than a false positive.

I get the same notice using Chrome. The problem is with post #3011. "Humpy" is externally linking to an emoticon stored on ****net. Chrome's malware protection is doing its job. ****net is currently blacklisted (external link) by Google for pushing malicious software. I doubt Humpy is aware of the blacklisted site.

FYI... this setting in Chrome is located at Settings>Show advanced settings...>Privacy>Enable phishing and malware protection

I have set my page format for max number of post per page.
So I see presence of 92 pages in the thread "Your best 3 Aviation shots".
When I try to go to page 70 (Posting before 3501 page), I get the message as you see above.
I just run my three different Malware/spyware programs and no malicious file found.
Again tried to go to page 70 of that thread and got the same message.
Please check the previous 50 posts from 3501 (The number of post on my screen at the page that is not opening) and Chrome should show you which on has the so called malware. Or may be as you say it is a false report but I am still not able to get to that particular page due to its content as reported by Chrome.
IE doesn't report any abnormality and I can brows that page as you see in this picture.

Thanks Seapup.
I was worry about that.
Hope Mods can remove the link and inform the user.

Thanks Seapup I deleted the smiley. I don't think that there is a danger but Chrome sure doesn't like it. I thought the boss had blocked the planetsmileys for that very reason. I'll bring it to his attention.

All planetsmilies domains are now banned from page rendering. We did ban .com before, this was a .net, now the rule covers all domain extensions. Thanks for notifying us!
