This forum is not on our server, it hosted by activeboard, we have no control over the ad server at the top of the page. Activeboard is a long time company and I doubt that they are spreading spyware. We will pass it along to them.

Google Chrome tends to scare the crap out of people many times without reason.

Unfortunately this does happen.

 

Often when a site uses third party advertisers.  In this case, someone likely signed up as an advertiser on the service that hosts this forum and attempted to distrubute malware.

Neither KMG or activeboard are responsible, that's why it's important to have a good firewall and anti-virus.  It can happen on any site that serves advertisements.
