Just got this while browsing the misc. forum. I've never seen it before (granted, I haven't been on here very much recently so I might have missed something)

I got it too. I was trying to view the "Complete Guitar Hero Release List" thread when it popped up. I can view other threads though, so there must be a bad link or something someone posted in said thread since it's the only one giving me problems.

Good thing I haven't looked at the Misc. GH Discussion.

I'm guessing its from an ad, I'll bring it to JC's attention.

If it's not an ad, then it might be someone's avatar picture.

I've had it before, but not in a LONG Time. My bet is on an Ad as well.

So, the screenshot in the OP lists this thread as the page:
http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=108651&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
saying that the server "imgs.pbnation.com" is the one that is hosting malware. It looks like llamaman2's avatar is the one that's hosted on that server:

OK, I'm not getting the warning from Chrome on that page either so we'll assume it resolved.

now that this is brought up something like this happened to me about a month ago. not this type of message but every time i went to scorehero my kaspersky AV bugged the fuck out with a bunch of malicious network attempts. i clicked block about 50 times and it worked fine otherwise. i was too tired to actually collect enough information to make a useful report at the time but this isnt the first time.

99% of the time it is due to someone's avatar or other image being hosted on a site that was previously identified as hosting malware..but if you think it's from an ad by all means bring it to our attention. (Or even if it isnt, let us know anyway just in case)
