0. Wow Forums/addware warning: 07/03/2009 08:21:13 AM PDT
I browse the wow forums using Google Chrome. I have been running into this warning every now and then, and I assume it is from one of the banner adds on the forums:
Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer!

: anyhow i will run spybot on my computer again and post back here if I continue to run into it.

Thanks for the heads up... I too run Chrome but I've never come across this message while browsing the forums.
I run a program that it just like ad block for FireFox. Don't have the name of it with me here at work, but if you do a Google search for how to block ads in Chrome you should be able to find it.

"Noscript" is the plugin for firefox if I remember.
I use Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer for different reasons, but mostly for testing my web pages.
I find using IE the least has saved me a great amount of heartache.

I too use Google Chrome and get the same warning. I am guessing it is an ad that contain malware. I dont know which ones, because, chrome blocks them with a red screen warning
