lol, Tibs....could have been any one of us! Still could be, at any time - thanks for watching out for us guys!
Thanks for your due diligence oldsoldier! In the decaying security environment that IS the internet, these things happen with ever increasing frequency. I want to thank the staff for doing all that they do to keep this corner of the net as clean as possible!
Its often a thankless chore, and you never get feedback when things work right, just when they go awry! So, thanks for keeping it working!!!!
This is business as usual on the internet. Thanks for reporting it so we can clean it up.
Though I doubt very much that it is necessary (this type of malware Google checks for is aimed at your computer, not the server) I've asked the server techs to run another scan on our servers just to be thorough. If this particular malware was hosted on the server Google would say it is on our server as well.
@Tibs. This isn't the first url I've had to block for being a malware distributor, nor is it likely to be the last. Don't worry, it isn't your fault, though I would seriously consider running multiple scans on your computer using multiple AV and AM tools.

You may have a clean bill of health but if you used the site there is a possibility that you got the gift that keeps on giving.

i'm pretty sure though i'll be ok - i was wondering why my sig didn't display right - apparently my anti-virus program was successful in blocking

Progg pointed out that you can right-click on a blank part of a web page and get to View Page Source using Firefox. Much easier than using menus. I just verified that you can also do this with IE9 and Chrome (19) too. Thanks Progg! 
Well,I gotta warnin too frum my cable company ta pay mah bill! anybody know how ta fix it??
call them and let them know that Google is blocking their site. They'd probably appreciate it 
So, I have a questions about the e-mail "spoof" post. Not related to this, but I can't comment in that area. I'm not sure it's worth a whole new thread for me to ask.
I assume that the malicious spoofer got e-mail addresses from either profiles where it is public, or posts in threads, or PIF or something. Not that ECF's internal e-mail address database was compromised. True?

Actually I'll let a little more info out. This is the guy that we banned for scraping content off of ECF. After we blocked him he started scraping NuVapor and a couple other forums until he got banned and blocked. Some people took it on themselves to email him and now he is trying to be slick and reply to these people and pretending to be a staff member.
It is actually kind of funny because one of these people emailed me and cussed at me, I simply told them to check the email address it was sent from, and that I just filter his mails straight to the trash.
I suspect that some vocal members from NV will get the same responses either as me or as one of the admins from NV. This guy really is a piece of work, I actually feel sorry for anyone that uses his services because if he doesn't screw them Google will.

I went ahead and updated the post in announcements since atty did bring up a valid question.
update - since that bothered me quite a bit!
apparently, only chrome users got that warning yesterday but it seems it was a false alarm and google safe browsing has lifted the block by now. i had done lots of research before i decided on fotoflexer as my pic editor and i'm not alone in using it:

Tibby my dear, It's NOT your fault!
You need to get over "The great signature scare of 2012" as soon as possible...
