    On this page I am seeing a malware detection warning. I am using Chrome.

    As you can see from the message Chrome gives you - the page you're trying to view (on boards.ie) contains content from Visboo.com (not Boards.ie). Since you're viewing YLYL I'll come out and say that it is most likely a picture somebody hotlinked to on that website.

    You need to report the post, if you can identify it, or the page to the mods of that forum who will investigate and should remove the hotlinked picture.

    We are malware free - you can even view own our Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page to verify :)

    Yup, I know it's not boards.ie, just letting you know that it's popped up. I think I'll avoid the page, just to be on the safe side.
