    Just today Google Chrome is telling me that virtually every site I visit, including Boards, is a source of Malware. Not sure if this is a virus or, indeed, Malware in it's own right. Anybody getting this?

    Try running a MBam Free scan and also a ADWCleaner one. It does sound like something weird is happening (like your browser is redirecting you through a malicious website perhaps?). Failing that you could try a Chrome Factory Reset in case your profile has become corrupted

    Never heard of ADW but it looks like a keeper. I didn't understand the results but I just deleted what they gave and the problem is gone. :)

    Guardian newspaper have had a load of false positives from Google today, apparently related to ads provider they had on their site.

    Might sound odd but make sure your time / date is correct on your PC.
