Unlike in the original thread on this subject, we haven't had any responses from admins in this one - should we conclude from this that it isn't considered a serious problem?

Avast is blocking whatever it is anyway, so I guess it isn't all that bad bro. I guess we should check back periodically.

I'm using Avast and haven't any issues when I enter the site.

One of the plugins we use has a vulnerability which leads to this issue. A fix is currently in the works and should be installed fairly soon if all goes well.

As far as me personally, I have not run into any issues yet when accessing the forum and I use Avast Pro. I also use other plugins with FF that may be helping to block it.

Thanks for your patience.

Can you be a bit more specific and reveal the name of that plugin? Might be helpful for me.

Have you guys considered using BitDefender Free? Checking AV Comparatives' latest chart for July shows it at 99.8%, higher than Avast and everything else actually:

I use a Mac mostly, but when I need something off a Windows VM I now use BDF and switched off Avast free when I heard that BDF had a better track record of late.

I have to agree that something's infected the site. I have Win 7, use FireFox 31.0 for a browser and have McAfee suite for virus protection. It is not uncommon (lately) to get a "Trojan Quarantined" message from McAfee... like what just happened a moment ago. It triggered while I was scanning a page of new posts, not while I was viewing a particular post. That's pretty unusual.

Malawarebytes and Avast detect and block VEF pages that link to site. Not my bookmarked page into site.

I had that warning come up about an hour ago. I logged out, cleared cookies and browsing history and logged back in. This time no warning.
