Malware Warning Receivec

[GeorgieGirl]

I was just going on to TPF and I received a google warning. I have never received one if these before, I am on a Mac.
I am on my iPhone now... Do I ignore the warning or stay away for a bit? I don't know a thing about Trojan viruses, but it says there are 14 of them on the site.
Help!

I just got the same thing and I'm on a PC. I just proceeded to the site because I have a great virus scanner so I'm not worried about it. But proceed with caution for sure. Come on, thought macs couldn't get viruses?

I just saw it to. know it looks to be fine

Are you sure it is from google? A lot of warning pops up wanting you to push something to execute the virus (even the closing the pop up, the made it look like a pop up but its actually a button). The best thing to do when you see that is to cancel the browsing page (ctrl alt del on PC and shut down your browser). If it is already infected, good luck!

LOL MAC do get viruses what happen is that before it was less population using MAC and the virus where more intended for more popular audience. Now that MAC is gaining terreain on the popular usage the things will change.

Example Apple application virtual Store was open like one week ago and has been already hack.

YOu may have gotten it from recent posts on erose86 boudoir thread. A lot of links were posted to shady websites.

The notice said posted 6 hours ago, I was already on this morning. I had just downloaded Photomatix. Dunno what I should do.

I'm getting it on FireFox.

 

[Robin Usagani]

where is this warning.. can someone explain?

 

[GeorgieGirl]

I get it when I load the site in my browser and I get it when I load it through google. It identifies the sites that have been suspicious and malicious. I'm still on the iPhone until I understand if I need some sort of virus kill added to my mac at this time.

I tried all 3 browsers, I dont see it.
