I am getting a Google alert for malware on the post on Norovirus

I can't even click the link on DU when the warning comes up, so can't paste the link here.

But I can post the link to the reply I made in the thread.

This is what the Google Chrome warning shows.

1. Did you open the replies individually to see which one is causing the warning?

Obviously it's not yours since you can open that on its own - but did you try to narrow it down by opening the others?

3. I don't get any warning when I open that in Chrome (or FireFox - my default browser).

I can't find any reference to erotixxxi.ru in the source code either. It seems unlikely that Google ads would be consistent in what post it serves a particular ad for (if some ad is causing the issue).

Perhaps it's time for an anti-virus and anti-malware scan...
