Hi all, i tried to load page 5 of the Snake Oil Thread and it triggered the following page.

Maybe an Admin should check it out.

Thanks.
It was just an image link, so no harm, but it's been removed.

It's just Google being unwantedly intrusive and flagging on nothing. It's Dealextreme's CDN..

This may be so, but i would rather err on the side of caution. Even if it is DX.

They base their assertion that it's 'known to distribute malware' on a stupid tool which identifies it as 'suspicious' due to a redirect back to the main site.

I'm always very suspicious of such notices.
Sometimes they are not the real thing,& a click on the link downloads "scamware" which does a pretend scan of your computer,says it is full of malware & asks you for money to "fix" the non-existent problem!
System Restore usually makes it go away.
