security hacker warning!

[davecummings]

Hi all,
just to let you know I am getting the following error :

The site ahead contains malware

Attackers currently on www.airliners.net might attempt to install dangerous programs on your computer that steal or delete your information (for example, photos, passwords, messages, and credit cards).

Automatically report details of possible security incidents to Google. Privacy policy

I cant buy or swap any aircraft!

further info from google:

Google Safe Browsing recently detected malware on www.airlinemogul.com. Websites that are normally safe are sometimes infected with malware. The malicious content comes from www.airliners.net, a known malware distributor.

Wait airliners.net contains malware?

[davecummings]

Apparently according to Google and avg yesterday

I guess I'll try to avoid the site then. I'd rather not have malware on my computer.

[davecummings]

More than likely a false positive but Google rarely gets it wrong!??

[davecummings]

Apparently the CIA have asked for it to be blocked as it had secret registrations and sensitive photographs listed on it.

I've just tried both sites listed, and no warning popped up. I think it's safe to go on

[norge]

But airliners.net is (apparently) a known malware distributor. I think that rings a few bells

[1993matias]

Do you have any sources?

[norge]

Not really, just taking it from Dave's post further above

 Actually, there is something to the Airliners.net thing.

 My laptop frequently gets hit by adware called OffersWizard. 90% of the time it happens at Airliners.net.

 It does hit at other sites, but most of the time it's from Airliners.net.

Doesn't stop me from going there, especially since it's easily removed.

I don't see that when I'm on Airliners.net, but maybe that's because I use AdBlock.
