http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_user_posts.php?userid=7801932&offset=-30 brings up a complaint page in Google Chrome (chromium), mentioning links to planetsmilies... Chromium has blocked access to this page on setiathome.berkeley.edu. Content from planetsmilies.net, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.

I'm pretty sure Hans wouldn't post dangerous content on purpose. It would help if the post that is linking to that site was reported (red-x ed) this thread doesn't really have a place in NC, either. You need to alert the moderators, not the users. It's not like it was referring to a recent post. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) ID: 1396616 · |

It was an image hot linked from planet smilies that seems to be setting off chromes alarm (doesn't give the warning when visiting planet smilies though), a post made over six years ago was the culprit :) Sorted now.  Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club.
