Malware? - Epictetus - 09-03-2013
I'm being warned of malware in the Polish Hussars thread.
Quote:Content from www.ultimatehorsesite.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page.
I don't know if it is true or not, but thought I should let the powers-that-be know I got the warning. Perhaps if any members don't have anti-virus software they might want to avoid that thread for the moment.

Thank you - we'll keep an eye on it if Jasper has not already sorted it.
(supposed to be in moderator green but I still can't do that...!)

[color=#008800 [/color] GREEN!
If you want the duller, darker green (ominous and profound, isn't that?)
Then use this setting [color=#004400
Don't forget to add a ] after the number. See if that works for you.

That's Chrome being (understandably) paranoid. The content in question is a gif, a picture Peter posted of the biggest horse on record. It is apparently possible to embed scripts in a gif, so I have deleted that post. However, the odds of it actually being dangerous seem low. Google also indicates that Ultimatehorsesite.com has not recently actually distributed malware: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultimatehorsesite.com%2Fimages_info%2Fbighorse_brooklynsupreme.gif&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US

Okay. Thanks, Jasper. I just thought I should mention it.
