I just tried to visit fullyramblomatic.com, but the browser blocked me, warning that it contains malware. Is this a genuine threat, or Chrome being special?

Chrome has been a bit special lately. I got the same warning when trying to visit Kotaku. I think there's just some new advertisements that cause it to flip out.

No, it's fine. It actually redirects you to his Blogspot now anyway, so it's 100% fine. Just Chrome has special needs. It was like it with The Escapist until recently.

Calumon: Super fast, Super silly! :D

Of the 5 pages that we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 2 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time that Google visited this site was on 2010-10-24, and the last time that suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-10-23.
might just be a false positive however the web master needs to do his job.

Actually, this may not be "Chrome being special" as I encountered the same thing with Firefox...

I looked at the source, and yes it has been hacked - and the malicious content is still there. I recommend going directly to the blog and NOT using the site for the time being.

That's where it redirected me anyway.

Yes, it appears the *other* redirect isn't functioning, but it looks to be trying to get some links highly rated on search engines as well.

Still, if the code gets changed so the redirect goes to the JS file (or someone else hacks the thing), and not the blog it's not going to look pretty. Didn't look at the contents of the JS, but it's there.

le sigh. probably some fanboy with a highspeed modem and an axe to grind.

way to go looser. you made a few people's day slightly harder. have fun with the rest of your life. living in your momma's basement. picking cheeto bits out of the keyboard, and smelling of aqua-velva, and old milk.

Eh... I'll avoid it for a little bit even though I suspect it is just Chrome having a moment.

EDIT: Bullseye. Get Firefox.
I may be "new" in the sense of that this is my second post, but is it not customary to read the above posts?

Indeed. Avast told me not to go there the last time I tried to visit fullyramblomatic. And I use Firefox.

Edit: I seem to have no trouble entering the site right now though.

Well guessed, have you used the internet before?
