[SOLVED] LF Has Malware ?

[nujinini]

Hello,

I encountered this just a few hours ago.

Everytime I try to log in LF, a Warning Page pops up saying that oure site has a Malware of some sort?

Something like enter at my own risk thingy...

Anybody experience this too?

Anybody experience this too?

Nope Bro. Neither in my Ubutnu 10.04 installs or AntiX installs and not in any of a multitiude of browsers I use.

Usually, this is due to a compromised advert being served by a third party. I would use the contact us to report it

There have been other reports in addition to yours, and this matter is being investigated.

Thank you for the feedback.

Alrighty then!

I was in Mint 7 when I encountered this using Goodlechrome. I'll try to log in through my other OS and see if the problem persists. Thanks

EDIT: FWIW...I was able to log-in with Ubuntu 10.04 (Firefox) , Anti-X 8.5 (Ice Ape), Fedora 12 (Firefox), Fedora 12 in VirtualBox Hosted by Linux Mint 7 (Firefox) and have encountered no pop-ups. Including Mint 7 (Firefox)

The warning only shows when I log-in LF in Mint 7 using Google Chrome. I have taken the liberty to attach a screen shot, fyi.

Thanks!

Is MInt 7 the only distro that you tried Google Chrome under? Firefox doesn't seem to have problems, and Google's blacklist (usually) applies under Firefox as well. Maybe also try a more recent version of Mint? Mint 9 "Isadora" LDXE is one I keep in my CD wallet (even though I'm otherwise a solid KDE guy)

nujinini, when you get the pop-up/malware report... do you get any notifications of any cookies or anything of the sort?
Do you use any ad-blockers in your other browsers that you might have a different setting on than you do in Chrome?

I'm not blaming the browser... but what are the variables that you might have?
