Chrome malware alert

[ARG]

I keep getting these when I try to visit the LPF homepage.

Probably a false positive, but it is annoying to click around it every time.

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting this?

I just got this myself. Irritating and disconcerting.

Okay, glad to know it's not just me

Isn't there a way to allow Chrome to access this page without the need to accept every time that "we do want to access it"?

Aye, I've been getting it too.

This was not due to LPF being infected.

one of the ad networks , madadsmedia, was the root cause -- the ad network has been removed

I analyzed this and there was no evidence any malware actually got distributed by the ad network having the issue since chrome started reporting it

the domain might have had issues in the past but no malware was dropped when i analyzed the current domain



it might take some time for the warning message to go away. you can try also clear browser cache in-case the javascript got cache for that ad network causing problem

u could also consider try:

chrome://settings/

go to advanced settings
uncheck phishing / malware protection

unfortunately all adnetworks are susceptible to stupid problems like this.. typically what happens is that a legitimate account on the ad network gets hacked. then the hacked account is used to distribute a malicious flash file or sometihng..

i used to work at Microsoft in IT security in online services (Bing division), had to deal with this problem all the time. not easy problem to solve
