Title: Malware detected in RMRK???
Post by: NPC on January 23, 2010, 06:04:26 AM
I had recently sent a PM on this site and after clicking "send" google sent me to a page I took a screen cap of and attached it to this message. The warning was as follows (text only, links don't work):

Did someone send you a PM with an image hosted on imageflock.com? Google gives a warning for the website, and it appears to be an image hosting service.

It isn't RMRK that was flagged, it was imageflock. The reason is that someone probably posted, or sent you something from that site, and that site has been reported to host malware. It's only reporting by proxy.

Ok, yeah i figured it wasn't rmrk's fault, just felt like you mods would like to know about the whole thing and such

I looked threw my inbox and found out it was actually caused by a members sig. Should I pm them and ask them to change it? If so, what should I say? Or should I just PM a mod so they can discretely tell the member to change their sig or to change it manually?

PM me with the member's name.

The signature is more than likely just an image; it's just hosted on a rotten site. I'll reupload his signature to another site so no other members get that nasty warning.
