Its malware, it can come from signatures if the website the sig comes from has malware on it...Thats what happened a while back (a regular had a picture hosted from a malware infected website)... Going to try and track it down, bare with!

I was getting this too since yesterday evening. I just got booted out of the SNH with a malware warning from Google, the last ones were from Avast.

you can ignore the malware warnings. they were for an iframe issue from yesterday that's been resolved, but we're still being flagged for them
having said that, if you're getting malware warnings then you're better off not using this (or any) site until you stop getting them. why risk your machine?
edit: and if this happens in the future then please let the mods know (i'm your best bet most of the time but try dubway if i'm not responding) rather than just making a thread as we can't fix it unless we know. it was already being dealt with this time before this thread was even created but it's all dependent on someone being online and noticing/being told about problems in time

Firefox regards DSF as a reported attack site and doesn't allow me to visit it unless i turn off it's protection.
It shows an image like this:

When i click ignore this warning it shows me the forum without all the scripts, and if i click on any forum link it shows me the above message again.
If i say that this isnt an attack site it redirects me to this page:

if you bothered to read what i said, you'd know that this has already been fixed. we've been flagged up on google as having an infection but by the time that warning was coming up it had already been resolved. unless there's another infection (which is unlikely), that warning will stop appearing by the end of the day if not before
but like i said, if you're worried then stop browsing the forum until the message goes away. it always amazes me that people will get a warning that a site has malware, ignore the warning and browse anyway, and then complain that they've got malware
