    Hi Guys,

    I don't know if anyone noticed this but when I try open the Oscar feeding post, my browser alerts me that it detected Malware.

    I am using Google Chrome as my browser.

    I do not know how legit this warning is but I tend to be quite anal when it comes to things like this. So I just wanted to give a heads up to the mods in case they want to investigate.

    Hi guys,

    The message my browser gives me is as follows:

    The website at www.tropicalaquarium.co.za contains elements from the site *Link removed by me*, which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer.

    So I did some investigation and I found that it is because of a link to... let me call it Website X somewhere in the thread. Website X has been listed for suspicious activity.

    So I guess all is fine as it is not on TASA itself. :bigsmile:

    Ok I checked the report etc. Really nothing to worry about. A link to a malware site once (over 90 days ago) was on a site one of the pics linked comes from.
