-I am getting malware warnings, but only for page 2 on the "Chinese J-XX/14/20 p.2" thread.
The warning message reads:
"The website at forum.keypublishing.co.uk contains elements from the site www.fyjs.cn, which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer."
I'm getting this using Chrome on Win XP

-That's simply because Google treats anything with a .cn domain as malware :(

-I'm by no means an "industry professional" by my job is to run a website, so I get asked that a lot.
My answer is the same for everyone, you should be careful about any link you click, whether is be .com, .co.uk, .net, .cn or whatever, you just never know. Now, I've just gone to check the website above (Appears to be a sort of news site), and I do indeed get a Google Chrome warning about it hosting malware. Some of the adverts on it look rather "dodgy" (Saucy might be a better word, in fact!) which I think is where the problem lies.
China, the land of censorship, does not require any real sort of information when it comes to registering a domain, hence lots of malicious websites use them. If you do go on one, be careful, and make sure your anti-virus (Personally I recommend Avast, but others have their own preferences), firewall and anti-spyware/malware software (Spybot - Search & Destroy with Teatimer is beset in my opinion) are all fully up-to-date at all times!
Sorry for the lesson, I'm sure most of you know this already, but you'd be amazed how many people don't have any anti-virus software!
P.S. You can read the diagnostic about the site here, I didn't find anything on a quick sweep of it on my PC, so it might now be sorted: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://fyjs.cn

-Sound advice from Mr Globe.
BTW, if any of you are planning to go onto that particular thread and tell the punters that they mustn't post any more links to '.cn' domains, would you mind hanging on while I go and get some popcorn? :cool:
Seriously, though, don't.
Just..... don't. :eek:
