malware alert ?

when trying to access the site lately all i keep getting is this

someone must have posted a picture from newspaper.li and they have been flagged as potential malware hosters.

false positives with google's automatic malware checker happens all the time, most recently twitpic.com - http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/12/30/google-blocks-twitpic-over-alleged-malware-causing-chrome-to-deny-access-to-some-twitter-pages/

I too had never seen this before until today. Two separate pages of you laugh you lose are throwing it for two different sites.

Either that or the exact url (copy the URL from the browser) where you're getting the issue, and a copypaste of the text that you get from the malware alert (as that contains the image I'll need to look for). Ta

Really need a URL too mate! I see someone has mentioned page 211 here but I can't find anything on that page (when I view at 20 posts per page), so can you tell me what page of the thread?

jimmynokia

I will go back to the thread now.
UPDATE!
It was around 212 in the YLYL thread just checked all seems fine,should i find anything else i will report.

Gordon

OK, cheers

Has it nothing to do with twitpic??

Gordon

The one that you were talking about was mariokartwii.com which was removed by a Mod, the OP was regarding newspaper.li.

OK, please post screenshots as you did before and we'll remove the offending images, ta.

Why these sites are showing up as malware by Chrome, I've no idea, maybe there's more malware being leaked onto them or something? Or maybe Chrome have erroneously marked certain sites as malware infected.
