I just got the warning sign from WOT, an internet security extension for chrome, everytime I go to the forums. It says a malware was trying to install itself from rememberingelvis.com

I don't know why I'm getting this everytime I go to gamespot forum.

Can you give a specific thread this is happening? This is usually a result of someone's avatar or signature, but we need to know where to look to fix it.

I was browsing naruto storm 2 forum in ps3

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/narutoshippudenultimateninjastorm2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-56910551&pid=982706&tag=topics;title

That's where I got the malware warning.

First time I got the warning was from the Fable 3 forum but can't remeber which thread I got it.

I couldn't find anything unusual on that page. There were only two non-default avatars, and they were both hosted on GameSpot. It looks like google does list that domain as suspicious - I just don't know how it got into the page. I'm wondering if it might have been an ad, but that seems like a really strange prospect.

Indeed. It looks like google is also still listing the domain as suspicious, so I went ahead and sent the user a PM. As is often the case, the image seems to be harmless. One way or another this should eventually get straightened out.

Emphasis on "had". If it isn't a current issue, there's no need to post about it again.
