Viruses at HC

I was looking through the Dimensional Gates subforum, when I was about to go to the second page here:
http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=12874&pagenumber=2
Clicking the link gives me a malware warning.

Well sure.. it was just not that warning I got, but I guess it's better to make it more general.

Edit: I can only change the cursive text, not the actual thread name apparently..

Which browser are you using?
Could you copy and paste the full text of the warning? Specifically if it says the exact URL that you are being warned about.

Literal translation from the Dutch google chrome warning: "The following site contains malware. Cyber criminals are possibly trying to install dangerous programs via icon-shortcut.ru with which your data can be stolen or removed (passwords, pictures, credit card info.)"

If you have any more questions, go to Dagoth Cares.

Strange, I don't see this URL anywhere in the source code of the page. Which page/s do you see this warning on? Did you notice if it maybe relates to a particular advertising banner?

I don't see that URL anywhere in the source of the page, so I'm not sure why this warning is occurring.

I see the warning as well, so it appears to be something affecting Chrome Users only.

The question is however, WHY are you reading Dimension Games?

Like the others(?) I use chrome.

Except for the language, my warning is identical to the screenshot Mvass posted, refering to icon-shortcut.ru.

I wanted to see which item levels corresponded to which bonuses and where these could be found/shopped. Mainly so I don't have to spend a lot of time finding "of Darkness" weaponry in Might and Magic 7, but it doesn't look like this info is anywhere to be found.
