GWO/IncGamers reported as attack site? - Guild Wars Forums

Miscreant_Moon · Nov 27, 2009, 06:42 PM // 18:42

I just tried to go to http://guildwars.incgamers.com/index.php and it's being reported as an attack site?! Does anyone know what this means? I visit this forum and their's and I just want to protect myself so I'm not sure if this is serious or not. Is this something they put up themselves? Or does like google do that?

it's a problem with advertisements, some ads contain scripts which can be malicious. i guess they will fix it soon

Correct, Guru has had this several times aswell.
It has nothing to do with the content on the site, but the advertisements are enough to get flagged.

As stated above, it's all in the AD scripts. All you need are some ads to be placed into Guru (for example) from some known "bad" site and bam, now Guru is "bad". There are also ads with malicious intent to cause popups and do other things like freeze certian browsers, also bad. We had this problem with gameamp every day when it was around which got a little frustrating at times since everyone with little knowledge how things work is so paranoid about viruses and keyloggers.

The GWOnline site seems to be back up but with different forums software.
