Malware warning on the top files page

Google came up and said they are blocking it because "The Badware" program detected something. Mmm, that's Google for ya. Never heard of it, but it happened to me also. But I had no problems on Fallout 3 or Fallout NV, though. Edited by Papajack55

Also getting the issue with the following details

Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including ads.zitaholdings.com/.

So it sounds this actually is an Ad it's coming from.

I was a little hesitant going into this direction, as I thought Premium members might not even have ads display at all anymore. But if this domain is where the malware was coming from, then it's the ads.

 

In this case though you will have to post some screenshots so the staff can investigate which ad is causing it and get rid of it. Mentioning the page it happened on won't help, as they all display ads and ad rotation is pretty much random.

However, the info coming from google does display because there "was" an ad serving malware once before. It doesn't exactly mean the ad is displaying right now. But if an actual malware blocker comes up with a warning, "then" the malicious ad should be displaying this very moment.

 

And for the records, I'm not getting any such warnings myself so far. But that can as well be because I'm browsing on a Mac.

edit: Or because I'm in Germany. I'm not getting "your" Ads at all, after all.
