Hey Guys - the tech team is on top of that. No actual threat. For some stupid reason, our smartphoneexperts.com domain got flagged by one of the services that firefox/chrome use for monitoring. Because the top bar and footer on the cb get piped in fromm there, its popping that up. Were working on removing the linkage for now and will be delisted and safe flagged soon. This is the problem when computers do stuff instead of humans. Thx fore the patience. Its all good.

My warning was from entering the site directly from the address bar. Had nothing to do with being piped in. Either way, I don't go there so it really does not matter to me. Just posted my pic to show that FF was reporting the malware issue as well.
It's doing it again after working for awhile. I wrote it down this time. Web attack: Blackhole Toolkit Website 7. The attacking computer is dase.cu.cc. Hope this gets resolved.

My Norton antivirus pops up and denies me access to CB Forums. It says there is a "Black Hole Toolkit Web Site 7" attack. This is the first time I've been able to get into the Forums all day today.

1. KILL NORTON before it kills ur comp(unless u have corp. edition), get avast! antivirus
2. i have another link giving a trojan horse virus, http://crackberry.com/blackberry-playbook, it worried me so i thought i'd post it
See this lot in the computer business.... a lot of the Anti-Virus/Malware programs get a lttile over-zealous... If it was truely a trojan on this site.... you would see a lot more people really upset about it.... and actually report getting one..... a lot of members would voice their displeasure..... There have been a lot of files my computer that these programs scans and tells me are trojans. Learned a long time ago that you need to be careful but not paranoid either... Sites can get infected but well designed and mamaged sites like this one, tend to block or catch the issue.... I am more cocerned of the sites I know little about if warnings come up.....
Coincidentally, a little over four months ago, I reported that a bannertracker script embedded in the drop-down quick style chooser form at the bottom of each CB forum page was generated repeated warnings from Trend Micro's OfficeScan, which is hard-installed on my office computer. I received no response, but it stopped after a week or so.
Now, in the last couple of days, OfficeScan is popping up from time to time with a variety of different warnings about links/ads/etc. on CB -- and only CB. Not that I feel "unsafe" here, but there is definitely something amiss, or at least something skating on the edge here.

Depending on the settings applied by your office's antivirus admin, Trend can be a PITA for incorrectly flagging or blocking any site which includes advertising. There are many sites I can't reach from my work notebook because someone decided they should be on Trend's blacklist. Sometimes only one advert is blocked, sometimes the entire page or site.
CB uses ads provided by a third party contractor and we can't always control what they serve, or what they serve elsewhere which might lead to the contractor's domain getting into an alert list. Unfortunately the ads served can be different on each pass so simply reporting the CB host page doesn't help track the problem ad because it is not there by the time anyone else looks.
I just got slammed with a virus from one of the ad banners this morning. It is trying to send emails. I clicked a link that I had sent myself from home to review at the office and SEP opened up four alerts and later the email attempts started.
