Some people obviously hate CI enough for it to get these malicious scripts stuffed into it constantly :c

Hmm, yeah I'd believe that.

But it seems different topic same forum. Luckily I did take a screen shot: http://codercat.org/tmp/Screenshots/ohno.png

mine was in forum = 12 + topic id = 31340
Blades was in forum = 12 + topic id = 37161

Apon, visiting my thread by typing in the URL I get the malware warning again. Blades topic, seems scotch free...

======================================= EDIT =======================================

I found it by viewing the source, pressing CTRL + F and typing "lycos", blades no longer has a trace, so it could have been in a signature, and recently removed.

Spoiler:

It appears to be a hotlinked image causing the issue. I'm removing all of the images from the Brawl tier list and refreshing to see if it still appears. If so, it's an avatar issue.

It went away, but see, I know that one image that I circled was it, because it was hosted at usuarlos [dot] lycos.es... There was no other reference anywere in the source for "lycos".

For now, i've added the URL to the word censor to avoid people getting linked to the malware page. I don't want to scare the users with any more false alarms!

Let me know if you still see this, thanks for looking into it guys.

Doesn't work, still lets me post post that iceclimber pic for lycos.es... I figure sensor words != true for hyper links or image URLs.

Also it seems when I visit usuarlos [dot] lycos [dot] es [f-slash] cardgallery/ahruon/iceclimber.gif (Were the iceclimber IMG is)

it redirects me to: usuarlos [dot] multimania [dot] es [f-slash] cardgallery/ahruon/iceclimber.gif

Was browsing old topics when I encountered this:

Should we be worried?

Well, I did exactly what Coty did for that topic, which directed me to This.

The problem is all those fancharacter images, they're too terrible all from a site named netbook except for the creator's imageshack images.
