OT: Be careful surfing RealGM (viruses/malware)

[Nowitness]

Was happening most of the day for me (Avast going loco), but looks like its gone for now.

I believe the problem might have been fixed.

Trend Micro has started blocking my access to any of the wiretap articles.

McAfee is doing the same when I try to access the wiretap.

Trend Micro keeps blocking my access to the wiretap articles. Any updates on this?

I only use realgm when I am on my Linux dual boot now

[ReturnofMVP3]

Just to add I was on my sisters laptop and thought it would be interesting to check her virus scanner with realgm... it would't even let me view the basketball.realgm.com because it was flagged for having malware

Ive had no problems when Im using Google Chrome. I suggest just using chrome.

I was getting redirected in both Firefox and Chrome so I don't think that was the issue.

As a temporary solution until things get resolved, I think the only way to prevent the redirects from happening is to turn off javascript before you visit RealGM. You can do this by going into your browser settings and unchecking 'enable Javascript' or use an add-on like NoScript (Firefox) or ScriptNo (Chrome) which give you more control over which scripts you block. Disabling javascript breaks most sites on the net but I'm able use Realgm fine without it.

Oh. I have yet to have something bad/annoying happen to me and I always use Chrome. Weird.

My sisters laptop's antivirus still doesn't let me view realgm at all because the site has been flagged for malware

Getting mal ware alerts with something about a Derrick Rose thing. Will put more info when I get to capture what it is.

Right click, "disable antivirus", set however many minutes you plan on using the site

We believe it is signatures and avatars uploaded from sites that are setting off these alarms before our Signature and Avatar Policy a few months back.

The plan is to create a filter to weed these out. We hope to do this soon.
