It'll say in the source url. Click for the image properties and that will tell you what site is hosting it. People are getting malware alerts from their browsers, which have malware alert add-ons.  |

It will look like this, but will say Iconator instead of gifbin:

...You -Do- realize that there is actually -no- Malware on TS? That people are only linking to sites that -do- contain malware and when Google see's that it assumes that because there is similar content between our site and the malware site that they both contain malware. We only want to prevent people from going from the Malware site by these links, and also want to fix TS' reputation with Google so that people do not think we have Malware on here. “PS—Why, yes, I can in fact capitalize any words I desire.

Just use the word censor to replace iconator with "Iconator is banned by TS" or something.

It's not because people -say- "Iconator" it's the fact that their Avatars and Signtuare Pictures Link back to that site. Google will look at the Page source and see that this site is being linked to their's through that. Last edited by Heartless Hìppíe on Fri Aug 06, 2010 11:46 pm, edited 1 time in total.

I only get the Malware alerts when I use the Google Chrome browser. Internet Explorer is just fine.

But there isn't any malware on TS. Just images encoded directly from a site that does, (I think) so it wouldn't detect it. I think it's good that it doesn't detect malware that isn't there because I have a heart attack every time I get an alert and I don't want that...I use Internet Explorer, too. I think it depends on the browser. You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen!

Still. There could be malware on other sites you go to and you don't even realise because your browser can't detect it. The malware isn't on this site, but it's on another site that someone's linked to. And it's better to have a warning that says there might be malware than getting a virus or something. All you have to do is click ignore if you know the website  "It's called bottling it, it's a Blues thing" |

IE, Firefox, etc. are all easy to hack as hell. Chrome and FF at least have add-ons that will tell you when you're visiting a malicious site and will give you the option of browsing away from it. If you don't have any sort of firewall protection and adblocker, you're probably infecting your site left and right with crap. |

No, I was simply stating the facts of what I have come across while browsing the site on Chrome and Explorer. My computer automatically scans every day for that crap and it's still squeaky clean. "Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak."

I'm pretty sure the reason you don't get a Google Diagnostic alert in IE is because Google doesn't have a Diagnostic Alert built into IE. <.<; And your computer is never completely safe. Unless you're not wireless-enabled and never connect to the Internet at all. Well, even then, physical security can still fail. =P “I am responsible.
