I was trying to view the latest page in the New Toy thread, when I got this:

I doubt Cooler Master's website is distributing malware, but is anybody else getting this on Google Chrome?

I hope this is in the right forum sub-section by the way, I wasn't sure where to post it.

Most likely one of the ads that are displayed on the page you were loading triggered chrome to go off. It has happened a few times in the past.
 
OK, thank you for the quick reply John. I just tried to visit coolermaster.co.uk and Chrome blocks it again. :/ So it could be an ad on their site.
 
What I have found out in the past is that say you were looking at a product on their site and come to CF, you will usually see the same product in a ad. I know the same thing happens to me if I'm looking at a product on tigerdirect or newegg and come to CF.
 
Yeah they probably use targetted advertising, though I have AdBlock on Chrome, so I don't see ads at all usually. I suspect the issue will be resolved at some point.
 
I also attempted to view coolermaster.co.uk and Pale Moon also blocked the page, so something is up with it.
 
There was a recent bug found with firefox (not sure about chrome) and certain ad's that caused this exact scenario (apparently some bad ad's slipped in and got sites blacklisted by google). I can't seem to find the bug report though. More then likely it's a false positive.

I just tried the web path also and got it blocked on firefox. And I use "Simple Adblocker" and "DoNotTrackMe" programs.
