    Someone had something similar recently which turned out to be a link in another poster's sig. If I spot one of the more techy admins around I'll direct them to this thread.

    Thanks Tar

    Zaph's almost certainly correct about it being a sig - as he said, the last time it definitely was and the few times before it's almost always been the same.

    While no-one on boards is using that actual site explicitly in their sig (I checked), it's probably a redirect there (as it was the last time to a different site).

    If it pops up on a particular page of a particular thread, please let us know where as it makes it easier to hunt down.

    Incidentally, it's highly likely to be someone using a picture in their sig rather than deliberately or innocently linking to something nasty. The software on your PC that is producing the warning (could be anything from a proper firewall to a google desktop install) is being rather careful. But one of us can easily take care of it if anyone spots where.
