    You probably already have malware installed on your computer from somewhere else, and it will tell you randomly as you surf the web that the site you are trying to go to is buggy.

    www.malwarebytes.org and download the free version of malwarebytes. AWESOME program, and it will detect and clean all the bugs off your computer, even the ones that your anti-virus missed (which is MOST of them!).

    I am the network administrator at my residential treatment center (and a counselor, case manager, HIPAA Compliance officer, etc...) and I have malwarebytes installed on all 60+ computers to keep the bugs at bay. It works WAY better than any of the virus scanners.

    I access the internet through computers using Linux, so bugs or no bugs, I don't worry about any threats.

    www.ubuntu.com

    You can install it alongside your windows partition. Fast, simple, and beats adding a bunch of virus and malware protection to a weak operating system and bogging it down.

    mmb.maverick.to (this forum) is not infected with any malware. A post in a thread linked to an image that was on the the affected server. This post linking to the image has been deleted.

    Here is the Google Safe Browsing diagnostics on the affected server

    No need to be scared, the problem has been fixed. Do you have an up to date virus/malware scanner on your computer?

    I was viewing that thread, that's probably the issue. I do use Chrome.
