I found something bad in the forum!

I went to the thread for bored people in GJ&F and couln'd go to the 5th page because google alerted me to malware. I just wanted to let the mods know by posting here.

The computer dysplays this message:

I just went to that thread and went to the 5th page with no problems, no malware warnings, etc. on all the browsers (IE, FF, Safari and Chrome).

It's possible the malware was in a link posted by a user, but it is also quite possible it was in an ad.
The ad distribution companies are good at catching and shutting down that stuff pretty fast, but it can usually sneak in for a few hundred page views n multiple sites in the seconds or minutes it takes them to detect and kill it.o

I have adblocker and saw it.

No problem was encountered in loading the posts in question. However, that page has now been removed from the forum.
