It seems to be back again... My Anti-Virus just flashed a warning and blocked the front page. Is there a bug in the version of WordPress being used? This is unnerving.
UPDATE: Malware distributed through Front Page

AVG's blacklist (assuming you're using AVG) takes a few days to clear, even if the website itself is clean (which Retro now is). No need to panic.

Not using AVG. Didn't this server run on a cloud? Could it be cached copies from my ISP or something else?

What software is giving you the warning?
Just happened once (around the time I posted it). Avast (Internet Explorer - Lastest Version), I don't really use Java for anything when I browse the web that I'm aware of. Be nice to know if I needed or not, I guess.
It probally was a fluke as my ISP probally didn't clear it's servers.

OK, this is weird. Google Chrome decided to mark Retro as 'hosting' malware right now. This just happened right now. I have no idea why as well. Lemme restart me browser, just in case :P
I use Avast!, which says this site has a good rating but Chrome decided to freak all out right now :l Any idea why? Does anyone else have this problem?
Edit: Oh hey, there's this thing called Test Take 2 on the front page. No idea what it is :P Could anyone shed some light?

im using Firefox and the same thing just happened, I open the page and firefox blocks it as suspicious. I open the report page and says there is nothing wrong with the site yet it still blocks it. My antivirus is Avast.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I wasn't checking the frontpage (sonicretro.org) but I have the forum bookmarked and clicked it, so basically I've got the blocking when entering the forum.

Using Google Chrome. Only reason I choose not to care about said malware is because I'm using a temporary loaner computer from the school while mine is being fixed, so I don't care what the hell I do to this thing.

I'm getting Firefox warnings among the forums. Anti virus is AVG.
Antivirus programs have nothing to do with it. I'm running Firefox on OS X with no AV (lol mac) and got this warning:
…and eventually a link to this site:
http://www.stopbadwa...nicretro.org%2F
So, this feature is intrinsic to Firefox, regardless of whether one has an AV and of its identity.
