Default Threat, malware detected by avast!

Everytime I click on the stance thread under Appearance section, my avast malware/trojan blocker would pop up. JYK.

Can you provide the exact error message you're getting?

The most likely issue is that someone is hot-linking some pictures on a server/IP address that has been hacked or otherwise determined to be distributing malware. In that case, LS1Tech itself is not hosting the content.

If you can provide the exact error and/or narrow it down to which page (there's 44 pages there), that may help.

I`m the same. Something about `Threat has been detected`.

I think I found the post and have removed it and the others that were in other threads. It was a new account that was simply posting some (barely) ontopic replies with embedded images from a remote site for tracking.
