Webcomic virus alerts

Go To

I figured we probably need a stickied thread like this, for the safety of everyone.

This thread is for alerting all webcomic readers when specific webcomic sites are infected with viruses or other malware nasties. None of us want those to spread around, thus this thread. It also will allow us to deal with links on the actual wiki pages in case things get really nasty.

If your anti-virus or other security software picks up on danger on such a site, post it here so others will be alerted.

Guilty as charged. I just like to be safe.

For every low there is a high.

At work, so I can't properly address this, but RPG World has a bunch of links to the rpgworldcomic.com domain, which attempts to trick you into signing up for "Trusted Push" spam notifications.

Huh, is it some old domain that got squatted on? Well it is an easy fix.

AVG is giving me "malware blocked" messages on all the Hiveworks comics. Nothing in browser.

My posts make considerably more sense read in the voice of John Ratzenberger.

Bob and George seems to be having some certificate issues.

EDIT: certificate seems to be back in order now.

Joke? Why are you calling it a joke? You drew a picture of two dudes hugging and wrote "I love hugs!" on it.

I was reading through Friendship is Dragons, and got a Malwarebytes popup saying it had prevented malware. However, I was 300 pages in before I saw it. I'd say it was an ad rather than the comic itself, but I have adblock on at all times an thus don't see them. I am not sure what to make of this.
