Hi Everyone Hello

One of our admin team contacted us today saying that when she went to log on this morning that her Google Chrome came up with detecting malware from the site iconator.com.

This is what she got:

Hello,

Is http://iconator.com your forum?

thats not even a forumotion forum ?
can you post your link to your forum so i can see if it comes up for me as well.

other then that it sounds like it could corrupt coding somewhere on the page.
i would try to contact google and ask them exactly what it all means.
but just to be safe tell your admin to run all her scans just to make sure nothing harmful has gotten in.

Hi Kirk,

No iconator is actually a website of avatars, which is why I was confussed.

Our site is: http://ivfandacaustralia.darkbb.com/

Thanks
Sharon.

If the browser is blocking you from accessing it, then the site has became dodgy, I would recommend chosing another site to get ur avatar's from.

yeah they have a all kinds of embed codes on that site.
there's probably a number of them codes corrupt.. i would most definitely use a different site.

As far as your forums log in page i do not have anything coming up with IE,FireFox,Google Chrome or flock.
