Got this from Forum support
Delete the cookies & cache for your browser, ask your members to do the same. I think that will fix the problem.
Try this peeps and we will see what happens

Have to try everything Stu , its not good advertising when I,m trying to get more members and the first thing they see is a huge WARNING sign saying " Do not enter " We have taken away the suspect pictures and it is possible they are still around in the cookies or cache , so as I said we must start somewhere until the problem is solved . What is annoying is that anyone can post a picture on any forum and it will cause problems for the Admin , Hmm makes you think innit

Hi,
Please kindly remind Blakey that FireFox DOES have a Malware prevention ability and they had it long before Chrome had theirs
If the one individual is having it from one location, ask them to use a different device on the connection, for example, if connected via a cable, generally yellow or blue "category 5" ask them to connect to a different computer, or if via WiFi, get them to use a different device, such as a neighbors mobile device. If it continues,`I can further assist. If it stops then the issue is on that Laptop/Device and they should do a scan with Avast! Free Scan & Removal and then it should be detected and removed.
Avast is the best if the free, and is I believe #3 of the paid, only to AVG because of the brand name.
I may be wrong on that number, I haven't seen CNet numbers for quite a while

Having never used "Oh, you need an add on for that, download it here" Firefux, I didn't know that.
He's right about Avast though, Avira is equally as good and usually scores very well, (top 3 or 4) in industry tests (CNet).

Ok, cleared the cookies and cache, warning gone when I enter the site, but as soon as I clicked on this thread, it was back.
I can't check it on a different device as I only have this one. I don't have multiple laptops, tablets etc etc.
I'll run Avira over the weekend, see if that picks anything up.

Right. I have done a scan - nothing. I have cleared my cache AND Cookies back to time immemorial. Still getting the warning when I click on the first thread I want to read regardless of which it is. I then use proceed anyway on the warning to get into the site and its ok after that. I have tried it on my PC AND my laptop and get the warning on both.
Next suggestion?

had a bit of a google on this, and it seems quite a common problem, it looks like it is the host with the infection .

The problem is that it does not happen anymore for any of us.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Think its getting solved for most of them, i still believe clearing the cookies & cache would solve the problem. The reason being, i knew of a forum & it had a similar problem wherein they were getting a warning. So after the content was removed, the warning still remained even after it was actually gone for other users who visited the site freshly. Once i cleaned the cache & cookies, the warning disappeared for me.
Let me know how things are your end peeps

Can the affected users clear their DNS Cache?
Win 7: Start > Type in 'cmd' and it should return with a black box called 'cmd'
In it TYPE: ipconfig /flushdns hit enter AFTER IT SAID IT WAS SUSCESSFUL TYPE THIS ipconfig /renew hit enter.
Have you also got any JavaScripts selected to either 'in all pages' or 'in the topics'?
Also, Google can take a few weeks to re-check websites and verify it's safety.
It's rare that only a few selected users have the abnomaly of it continueing after everyone else.
Lets see if everyone has it cleared up now?
