Yep. I saw the same thing on the Heat's board. It's been popping up since, at least, yesterday.

A user's avatar, namely Brazilian has his avatar as follows (with the word REMOVE removed)

http://rebelREMOVEyogi.com/wp-content/u ... castle.jpg

This image is just an ordinary image, however someone reported to Google Chrome (or Google Chrome determined) that _something_ on that domain name is bad. As a result, it's blocking the whole domain name from your browser.

Meanwhile, all that it's trying to load from that site is an avatar image.

Ultimately the malware isn't on RealGM. In fact, what's being linked to by RealGM isn't even malware.

Your browser is being aggressive in claiming malware for an image.
