The entirety of the Mundane Concept Obsolescence thread on IMHO is being flagged by Google Chrome for having malware, specifically citing valid.canardpc.com. I haven't looked at the page for specific content, but none of the other threads are giving me this issue.

Google Chrome has apparently decided that CPU Validators are malware links. So if someone has a CPU-Z Validator link in their sig, Google Chrome will throw a shit fit. I have no idea why.
I'm also not really sure why someone would put overclocking validation into their signature on a Table Top Gaming Forum, but I guess it takes all kinds.

It's NiN's signature, then. He's the one who's got it.

I got the same thing from following a REPORT to the thread, so I deleted it. I apologize to the posters involved.

I removed this from NiN's signature.

A quick googling reveals that the CPU-Z installer will run ads while it installs and do that retarded "Make opt-out offers to change your homepage/install a taskbar/install program X along with your download" thing. That third one has apparently got some trojans in the rotation, which has made Google freak out and flag the entire program as unsafe. Which, to be fair, is probably accurate.
