EPTHas this been discussed anywhere? Yesterday I had to use an image because some virus or w/e I got on scforall ( yes i'm a dumbass and clicked on something that popped up ) crashed my comp.

+ Show Spoiler + Hi, yesterday we had a problem with the SCForAll website, for some reason it was showing that the website was under attack by some malware, or that we might have been linked to a site hosting malware, so Google then decided to put an "Attack Site" picture on the front page. To sum everything up: 1. Google hates Korean applications. 2. SCForAll uses a Korean server to host the videos on, called Afreeca, just like the player you see live casted Starcraft games on. 3. Is there any virus or malware being distributed at SCForAll? NO. 4. Has this "Site Attack" sign been up in the past? Yes, last year there was a Site Attack sign, it was due to the same reason, and it was fixed once we saw the problem. 5. Do you still see the site attack sign? I personally don’t see it anymore, but deleting your cookies might help the problem, if not, the warning sign will go away shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience or worry you might of had. scforall | ||

They are going to fix it soon i think. its not about afreeca being suspicious, you get popups like that guy said about some adobe shit and if you click it you're fucked and have to use an image to get your comp back to normal | ||

Might be legit then, but it goes out of its way to look otherwise. | ||

Both are the same IP (174.120.61.126) | ||

Why would you talk about something you have no idea about? You can get rid of it with many programs, mal-ware bytes, or spybot S&D would be fine. 2.) You don't reformat a CPU, you reformat a harddrive. | ||
