Malware Warnings

[RD]

They're back. Hooray.

yep, and as annoying as ever.....

Just an update that this was due to an attack at a different part of the incgamers domain, not GWO. The correct people have been notified, and the flag should be removed as soon as possible.

Maybe a news post could help allay fears?

I'm getting a Malware warning again in Chrome. Not in Firefox, though

guildwars.incgamers.com contains content from diablo.incgamers.com, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.

Google has found malicious software may be installed onto your computer if you proceed. If you've visited this site in the past or you trust this site, it's possible that it has just recently been compromised by a hacker. You should not proceed, and perhaps try again tomorrow or go somewhere else.

We have already notified diablo.incgamers.com that we found malware on the site. For more about the problems found on diablo.incgamers.com, visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

what an absolutely unfathomable occurrence

Here is what Rushster posted over at the diablo incgamers forums about the warning:

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that the site was flagged by Google for Malware. Just to say it was a very old news posted that was flagged by Google when google re-spidered the site yesterday night. The site is safe, the forums are safe etc. NO need to panic. You would have had to have gone to the individual news item to get hit and that would be highly unlikely.

In any case it is not about GWO being unsafe, just us getting hit by being on the same domain.

I don't think any of us here are actually worried about infection :)

I put a condom over my mouse just in case.

Thanks for the chuckle :)
