^yes, my Norton/Symantec Security software said "Web Attack: Malicious Toolkit Website 9" and also said this laptop is protected. The alert info said it's a malwebsite from Poland that must have injected itself here.
 
No warning here this time from Firefox 9.0.1 but the AF 'menu banner' thingy has just gone tits-up for me again, listing all options in one long list.
 
I'm getting the warning on just about everything I open. This reply is the first time I haven't seen the malware warning in about 15 minutes.
 
I am seeing the "Reported Attack" warning on the right side in a small box at the bottom of threads where the handset description and rating is present. I have included a picture below.

I also went to the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for malware threats and saw this: Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for androidforums.com . I have scanned with Malwarebytes and turned up nothing though. It seems that the malware link has already been disabled or Adblock Plus, which I use, is blocking it.
 
I got the warning a few days ago "blackout day" or whatever that was... so I ignored it. I got it again today. No problem in Chrome, but happens every time I try to access this site with Firefox.

edit: talked too soon, just got it Chrome going to the other linked thread above.

edit2: can get on ignoring the warnings... here's my screen when I first try:

all of a sudden,(just started happening today), when i bring up android forums, i get a warning page from google, this is what it says.....
"Warning: Something's Not Right Here!

Not as bad as me worried that I'm not seeing it this time around. I feel left out! :(

O.o I see it when I use google chrome, don't know about other browsers. When I use my phone I don't get a warning though...

What is happening to Phandroid? Is someone attacking it trying to get peoples info? This is the second time in less than a week :(
 
I'm getting the same thing. I think the adblocking extension I've got is blocking whatever ads are injecting the malware.
