It's the "Crushes from your teens" thread. I suspect someone has posted an image with the malware attached.

Have you told a mod?

Please note it's not a problem with PH, it's a dodgy link that someone has posted

If it's only locked and still there then folks can still seevand take the dodgy link - non?

Why not isolate it by moving it to the mods forum or somewhere until someone with the right tools can fix it?

Cheers,

Or just remove the offending link? Or is that too easy?

Others have recently reported a similar (NOT identical) issue in at least one other thread (I think nuts ), with clicking on a thread (or the next page within it) occasionally throwing up an AVG warning screen.

And it wasn't on that particular thread either, but something quite innocent with no jpegs (can't even remember what page or thread hehe ); when I clicked 'back' then selected the same page it worked fine confused .
