Paul - can you remember which page you were looking at? Also, which malware product you are using? It's most probably one of the ads, which occasionally causes a malware alert.

Martin the warning has gone now. It was on all pages - using Avast anti-virus. It probably was the particular advert being displayed at the time which has now changed.

Three times now I have had "emily.HTML" try to download itself unprompted when I visit this site. This happened to anyone else?

I've been on TAS this afternoon and evening and haven't had any warnings yet, Ali. I'm keeping an eye out for them.

I haven't had any malware alerts on my machines, but I do have adblockers activated permanently.
I do get this at the top of the page, but it never changes

Pretty sure I've had audio ads in the past, but perhaps ProBoards have done away with them now.

I just got my first malicious attack attempt on my PC when I visited TAS. The attack is trying to redirect my browser to another site.

It's most likely an ad on the page, Stan, but I've never known ProBoards to allow malicious ads. Which page were you on at the time?

I'm OK, but then I use Adblock +.
I just hate adverts.

It happens on every page. The site it is linked to is i.imgur.com
IP address = 185.31.19.193
It is using port 52385
It is a picture hosting site. But quite a few spear phising attacks are now conducted via images or videos. If there are adverts check to see where the pictures are hosted. I use the add-on Bluhell Firewall for Firefox to combat attacks done via images or flash.

I've tried clicking on several images on that site and can't seem to get a 'bite' from Windows Defender. I'll keep an eye on everything and if I do get a detection you can be sure that I'll report it pronto to ProBoards.
