This site may harm your computer?

Hey everyone, the past few days while trying to access the forums I've been getting a message that says this site may harm your computer? Anyone else experience this? Its been pretty aggravating and idea why or what it was from?

Indeed there is a chrome warning for possible malware on this forum. To be honest with the non-working bot preventions on this forum I'm not surprised there is some malicious code posted somewhere around here. I chose to ignore the warning and rely on up-to-date browser and plug-in security. There's been a similar warning on the dtm power forum for years (not that I would ever go there of course ;) )

Due to the "open" nature of web forums, hackers utilize avenues of attack such as this (website) to insert malicious i-frames within their posts. You computer is redirected without your knowledge to a site hosted by the bad guy, which attempts to exploit your computer against known vulnerabilities, most predominantly that being vulnerabilities due to outdated java versions.

best bet is to keep everything patched and updated. It's like a flu shot for the computer.
