    Hi, in a thread I created earlier, Lets End The Debate, when I click through to the second page, I get the following warning in Google chrome:

    Not sure what's causing it, maybe it's a link someone's posted, or maybe someone's avatar image or something?

    just checked the image in internet explorer using the 'check website' feature....no malware found....maybe a glitch in Google Chrome???

    My guess says the site's fine and visiting it won't hurt your computer. It seems to be mostly advertisement services that were distributing malware and since artofmanliness.com hasn't hosted malware or acted as a middle man for malware in 90 days, it's probably safe to visit as well. Because the picture posted is a hotlink to the .jpg file, you won't even be interacting with the advertisement services.

    uh, seriously?
    i visit art of manliness.com sometimes for those pages like bodyweight work out (oh, just reading it, don't expect me to do it LOL) and I haven't got viruses lol.

    I got viruses from my porns lol.

    though sometimes random ads on any sites you have to watch out.

    I googled artofmanliness malware and it lead me to their twitter page. According to the page....they've removed the content in question.

    I am experiencing the same warning for attempting to view page one of the thread "Transsexual Pregnancy for those of you Interested" under health and well being.

    Yep. I'm getting it on there too. We'll have to look into it and see what is going on here. It looks like the site that was linked to in the original post has been blacklisted by google.

    Anybody else getting that warning for this website too... I just started getting it here.
