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) |

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. |
