Me too. Hopefully it was fixed.

You've just bypassed Chrome's warning. It will likely come up again (did for me on every unique page, hence why I disabled it) on other pages.

It'll still work on other sites.



The Wiki is a Curse site too.

I'm not trying to get banned, however this post by you leaves me disgusted.

Why the hell would ANYONE want to disable chrome warnings just too use a site, an issue that will be thwarted down in around a week just to browse a site?

I would advise no one to disable it unless they are 100 percent sure you are browsing clean websites free of viruses at all times.

See; they are made to be annoying for a reason.

The only exception is if you are disabling it for only use on the forum, but then enabling it when you are done, however I would still not trust even this website for a safe browsing experience.. This doesn't mean I don't trust Curse, however what will prevent this from happening again?

Either way, glad to see the issue is sorted. (Hopefully)
I hope no one really took this advice by North, or atleast re-enabled the warnings.

I also recommend adblock plus. Not to say I don't support the developers, however it is a way to go for a much more safer experience.

About the chrome warnings:
Yes, it is annoying at times; but then I just refer to the console to fix it. NO SITE, not even famous ones will always be 100% clean. Careful what you do online.

One of the many reasons I have AdBlock Plus.
My friend unkowingly somehow got a "ArcadeWeb" installed which kept taking over youtube and replacing it with it's own ads.

This gave me the headache. However, I have AdBlockPlus installed, but fortunately I've jumped over the Report Attack Page!

Thanks, it was getting annoying

I hate to break it to everyone, but I have Linux and I have had a virus before ... although it was my own fault. A bad copy of a Windows program that was infected had infected my system because I was using it with Wine (Wine is, to put it into words, a Windows code "translator" of sorts -- works on Linux and Mac and is 100% free! (100% not-a-virus too)).

OFF TOPIC / NO NEED TO REPLY TO SECTION:
I really need to find out how to see my "photo" and the "Preview" / 'Go Advanced'-like feature for this "Add Comment" section.

EDIT #1 SECTION:
Wine wasn't the problem for me, it was my stupidity of using that Windows program.
Oh yea... (@ my off topic section) the Edit feature shows the whole part

Scanning right now. I wasn't worried at all before but now that the talk of malware pops up, I'm scanning right away!
EDIT: 400th post FTW!

my mac got the virus and it broke the machine. It's fixed now but I was wondering what happened.

My OS isn't Windows, so most viruses won't affect me anyway, and I had no intention of straying off my usual sites for the period I had the warnings disabled.

Uhmmm.. Virii do not target the OS. Meaning ALL Operating System are at risk. Doesn't matter what you have. MAC, Linux, Windoze.. they all have their virii. The problem.. or misconception is, that the virii come through ads. ALL OSs have a browser to browse the internet. All browsers read the same pages, the same ads, and use the same javascripts. No one is exempt. Some people get less virii less then others, true. But its not really about the OS. The reason people pick on windows, and use statistics saying "See windows users get hacked the most" is because MAC and Linux combined do not add up to what Windows has on the market. But if MAC was as big as Windows is, it too would have just as many problems. A statistic on the net can be interpreted in any way you want. Reminds me of relgiion. Bottom line, saying that your safe just because your not on windows is just flat out not true.

Heck all it takes is one picture that has a virus in it to wipe out your computer. And MAC computers are Intel based now. Welcome to Windows Hell.

Whew! So there's no harm. Thank goodness, i thought i wouldn't be able to go on minecraft forums!

Any word on what the actual malicious payload was so we know what to look for? I have seen mention of blaster.exe.

Recommendations on a good malware scanner for OSX?

Thank you, Citric, for fixing this so quickly. Any other forum I go to would have taken an excess of two weeks to fix an issue such as this!
Also, thanks for removing the pink. It was burning my eyes out. xD

Thank goodness. I thought something had gone wrong with my laptop. Glad they fixed it, it could have caused some serious issues.

I disabled the warning from Chrome because it was warning me every other page that the MCF was dangerous etc, despite having bypassed it multiple times already. This was very annoying.

My OS isn't Windows, so most viruses won't affect me anyway, and I had no intention of straying off my usual sites for the period I had the warnings disabled.

AdBlock isn't going to stop the warnings (already using it). The warnings are displayed because Google found issues with the site, not my browser.

I'm very careful what I do online, thank you.

So your safe, but what about the others?
As for my rage, I am sorry. I go off on a tangent sometimes, expessily when I disagree with something.
That's just one of my flaws, you are going to have to get over that.

Anyways. Glad to see this is over.

Umm I dont think this problem got fixed because I was browsing the forums and got redirected to a website, my virus progam detected Malware on it.

Just in case this help I use Avast Antivirus

this morning, roughly 15 mins before my post about the malware in this article
